Chapter 15, Problem 2RQ

A hormone molecule binds to a receptor on a cell membrane. It doesn’t enter the cell; rather, the binding activates a second messenger inside the cell that triggers an amplified response to the hormonal signal. Is the signaling molecule a steroid or a nonsteroid hormone?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
If a hormone interacts with a membrane-bound receptor, then the cell’s DNA will be stimulated to synthesize and secrete a protein. True or False?
Why do peptide and steroid hormones bind different kinds of receptor, and how does this difference affect the resulting signaling pathways in the target cell?
Under in vivo conditions, chronic treatment with a noncompetitive antagonist may lead to the up-regulation of the targeted receptor over time.  True  False Cytokines are peptides that are generally made in advance by specific types of cells, stored in vesicles, and act as autocrine or paracrine factors.  True  False Thyroid hormone is stored in an extracellular compartment.  True  False
