- Hormone
Chemical signal
Secreted into the circulatory system
Communicates regulatory messages
Only Target cells equipped to respond
- Hormones Regulate:
- Growth
- Development
- Reproduction
- Homeostasis
- Concept 45.2: Signal Transduction Pathways
1. RECEPTION Hormones bind to target cell receptors
2. TRANSDUCTION Relays signal
3. RESPONSE Specific cell responses

- 3 major classes of molecules function as hormones in vertebrates
Water-soluble:
1. Proteins and peptides
2. Amines (derived from amino acids)
Fat-soluble:
3. Steroids
Water-Soluble Hormones
Where are the Receptors for Water-Soluble hormones located?
(a) Receptor in plasma membrane
=Plasma Membrane
Water-Soluble Hormones
RECEPTION= Hormone binds to receptor in PM
TRANSDUCTION= signal pathway initiated in cytoplasm

3. RESPONSE
A.CYTOPLASMIC = Protein in cytoplasm activated
-OR-
B. NUCLEAR = Transcription factor in nucleus is activated

Ex: Epinephrine- nuclear or cytoplasmic response?
Lipid-Soluble Hormones
Where are the Receptors for
Fat-Soluble hormones
located?

= In the Nucleus
Lipid-Soluble Hormones
- Hormone easily moves through PM cytoplasm
- RECEPTION= Hormone binds with receptor in nucleus

Ex Fat-Soluble Hormone: Estradiol Vitellogenin
- Estradiol produced by female birds
- Liver cells have receptor for estradiol
- Hormome-receptor complex binds DNA vitellogenin
- Vitellogenin used to produce egg yolk
