Hormone Receptors and Cell Response

Description

Hormones trigger cell responses by binding to receptors on the cell surface or inside the target cell. This binding starts a chain of events that changes how the cell behaves. The response depends on the hormone, the receptor, and the type of target cell.

Cells can also change how strongly they r...

Transcript

Hormones bind to receptors on a target cell’s surface or interior and initiate various cellular responses.                          

One way cells regulate these effects is by altering the amount of the receptor expressed in the cell.

High hormone levels can lead to a gradual decline in the number of receptors for a given hormone o...
