- Human growth hormone binds to a cell-surface membrane protein that is not a receptor tyrosine kinase. The intracellular domain of the receptor can bind other proteins inside the cell. Furthermore, studies indicate that the receptor is monomeric in the absence of hormone but dimerizes on hormone binding. Propose a possible mechanism for growth-hormone signaling.arrow_forwardHormone receptor molecules are the key to understanding specific-ity of hormone action on target cells. Describe and distinguish be-tween receptors located on the cell surface and those located in the nucleus of target cells. Name two hormones whose action is medi-ated through each type of receptor.arrow_forwardSignaling by soluble extracellular molecules can be classified as endocrine, paracrine, or autocrine. Describe how these three types of cellular signaling differ. Growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary, which is located at the base of the brain and acts through growth hormone receptors located on the liver. Is this an example of endocrine, paracrine, or autocrine signaling? Why?arrow_forward
