creates a messenger RNA that is translated into the desired protein within the cytoplasm
Term
This type of hormone cannot pass though the phospholipid membrane
Definition
water-soluble
Term
Water soluble hormones must attach to a receptor on the...
Definition
outside of the target cell.
Term
what are two functions of the proteins in the phospholipid membrane
Definition
recognition and transport
Term
The proteins that the water soluble hormones attach to are
Definition
signal transduction proteins
Term
This action is referred to as the first messenger...
Definition
bonding of the water soluble hormone to the membrane receptor on the target cell.
Term
This triggers the activation of a G protein on the inside of the cell membrane
Definition
The binding of the water soluble hormone to the cells membrane receptor
Term
The G protein activates...
Definition
adenylate cyclase
Term
Adenylate cyclase converts
Definition
ATP (adeno-sine-tri-phosphate)to cAMP(cyclic adeno-sine-mono-phosphate)
Term
This action is referred to as the second messenger...
Definition
The activation of a G protein that then activates adenylate cyclase which converts ATP to cAMP
Term
cAMP activates an enzyme inside the cytoplasm called...
Definition
Protein Kinase
Term
Protein Kinase is activated by...
Definition
cAMP
Term
Protein Kinase is...
Definition
an enzyme inside the cytoplasm
Term
Function of Kinase?
Definition
another cascade that leads to the activation of proteins in the cell to alter cellular activity
Term
3 ways hormone secretion is controlled
Definition
Tropic Hormones
Blood composition
Feedback loops
Term
Tropic hormones regulate hormone secretion by...
Definition
Tropic hormones travel though the bloodstream to the target, stimulating the cells of that organ to start releasing its hormones
