Q

How does transcription and translation work in hormone synthesis?

A
  • Enzymes in the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chop off the signal sequence creating an inactive prohormone. The prohormone passes from the ER through the Golgi complex
    • Enzymes chop off the active reportions of the now active hormone and it remains in the secretory vesicle with other fragments ready for secretion
