To propose a hypothesis: How steroid and thyroid hormone receptor encode genes that evolved.
Concept introduction:
Endocrine cells secrete hormones into the extracellular fluids, which are signaling molecules. The secreted hormones reach target cells through the bloodstream. Hormones bind only to specific cells based on the corresponding receptors and they act through the chemical signals. They maintain homeostasis and regulate growth, development, blood pressure,
Both thyroid and steroid hormones are lipid soluble hormones, they can diffuse plasma membrane and bind to transport proteins inside the cells and also they bind to the cytoplasmic receptors. Both the receptors have structural similarities and they are from nuclear receptor “superfamily” of proteins. The steroid/thyroid receptor isoforms may be evolved from the same gene by post-translational modifications or splicing.

- 32. Through our expertise in biochemical manipulation, we found a way to alter the G protein-coupled receptor for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The alteration stopped the binding of FSH to the receptor completely stopping all cellular effects. What effect does this have on other hormones that bind to G protein-coupled receptors such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)? to. It will stop these effects as well since they all use the adenylyl cyclase pathway b. It will only stop the effects of other gonadal hormones such as LH It will stop ALL cellular effects that use G protein-coupled receptors dBoth A and C It will do nothing to any other hormone since all receptors are unique to each hormonearrow_forwardgive the basics of a disease and its relationship to a faulty signal transduction pathway.

- What is the importance of biochemistry signaling to our health and development? How does it affect our overall well-being?arrow_forwardHormones are chemical signaling molecules produced by specialized cells and transmitted via the circulatory system to all other cells in the body. Which of the following describes a condition that needs to be met for a target cell to re- ceive the signaling molecules? A B с D The size and shape of the target cell needs to be similar to that of the cell that secreted the hormone. The location of the target cell needs to be within the local region of the cell that secreted the hormone. The target cell needs to have sufficient ATP to transport the hormone into the cell. The cytosol of the target cell has to have receptors that recognize and bind the hormone.arrow_forwardhow does covid19 affect the systems of the body.. for example, nervous system, excretory system, endocrine system?arrow_forward
