Heck hormone synthesis and signaling Flashcards
What are the classes of hormones
proteins, polypeptides
steroids
amines
What is the largest class of proteins
hormones
What is the general secretory pathway for protein hormones
Nucleus rER sER golgi exocytosis
What is the difference between constituitive and regulatory pathways
constituitive- involves ECM and plasma membrane components
REgulated- hormones and enzymes regulated at level of transcription or exocytosis
steroids are synthesized from cholesterol how
from LDL in blood or de novo from acetyl-CoA
cholesterol is converted to the universal precursor, prenenolone
Describe structure of steroid hormones
lipophilic
What regulate steroid hormones
trophic hormones from pituitary
no intracell stores of hormone
synthesis and secretion closely linked
What 2 tissues create protein hormones
adrenal cortex and gonads
What protein hormones does the adrenal cortex create
cortisol synthesis
aldosterone
androgens
what type of corticoid is aldosterone
minerlocoritcoid
What protein hormones do the gonads secrete
ovary- estrogen or progesterone
testes- testosterone
What is the origin of amine hormones
tyrosine
what does dopamine turn into
tyrosine->DA->Ne->epi
Know that dopamine acts as a NT and catecholamine too
Ok
What do follicular cells of thyroid gland secrete into lumen
iodine and thyroglobulin
Where does proteolysis of T3 and T4 from thyroglobulin take place
endolysosome
Where is noreepi and eli synthesized and stored
chromaggin granules
What simtulates release of norepi and epi
