Which group of hormones interact with membrane bound receptors and use second messengers?
Show
Understanding: • Steroid hormones bind to receptor proteins in cytoplasm of target cells to form a receptor-hormone complex • The receptor-hormone complex promotes the transcription of specific genes
Understanding: • Peptide hormones bind to receptors in the plasma membrane of the target cell • Binding to membrane receptors activates a cascade mediated by a second messenger inside the cell
