Lec 05 Flashcards
Hormones secretion
From endocrine tissue or glands
Properties of Hormone
1-Cell-to-cell communication
2-Binding to target receptor initiate cellular response
3-Communication is eventually terminated
4-Half life= time for hormone conc. To decrease by 1/2
Cell-to-cell communication hormones
1- chemical signals
2- transport by blood to distant targets
Hormones communication eventually is terminated
1-limiting secretion
2-removing/inactivating hormone
3-terminate target cell activity
Hormone classified based in:
1- source
2- receptor
3- chemical structure
4- function
Peptide vs protein hormone
Peptide is smaller
Protein is larger
Peptide/protein hormones
1- made in endocrine cells
2- made in advance(preprohormone: large ,inactive with 1 or more copies of final peptide) and stored in vesicles
3- PREPROHORMONE—PROHORMONE—HORMONE(series of post-translational modifications)
4- Final hormone is active
5- Released into ECF by Exocytosis
6- Diffuses from ECF into blood
7- Half-life is short
8- Lipophilic—bind membrane receptors
9- Active secondary messenger
10- Response: altered activity of target proteins
Steroid hormones are made by demand
Memorize
Steroid hormones
-made from cholesterol
-made in adrenal glands,kidney,skin,gonads,placenta
-final hormone is lipophilic-CANNOT BE STORED
-made in SER
Smooth ER functions
1- store Ca ion
2- synthesis steroid hormones
Peptide hormone example
Insulin
Glucagon
Steroid hormones example
Sex hormones
Steroid hormone movement
1- Simple diffusion into blood (due to lipophilic)
2- bound to carrier protein in blood (have longer half time)
3- intracellular receptors: cytosolic/nuclear — regulation of gene activity — slow response
4- membrane receptors: fast response
Amine hormones
-Made in pineal gland, adrenal medulla,thyroid
-derived from tyrosine
-CATECHOLAMINES(Neurohormones)AND THYROID
Catecholamine
Characteristics similar to peptide hormones
-lipophobic
-stored for release
-short half time
