Q

mechanism of hormone action…

A

each hormone receptor is a portien or gylcoprotein molecule that has a binding site for specific hormone>hormone delivers its message to cell by uniting with its binding site on recpetor

Q

2nd messenger system process…

A

hormone combines w receptor outside of cell>activates enzyme which is bound to inside of cell membrane>activates another set of enzymes and causes change in cellular process. therefore the enzyme on inside of cell in 2nd messenger, reponses determined by type of protein substrate it contains

Q

direct gene activation proccess…

A

steroid hormones are lipid soluble and make up bulk of cell membrane, so they can enter cell easily. once inside»combine with specific cytoplasmic proteins (receptors)>enyer nucleus, bind to chromatin, activate genes>causing synthesis of messenger RNA. mRNA leaves nucleusand enters cytoplams where it auses target effects
