In your body, you have certain cells that can receive and process hormones released by your pituitary gland, hypothalamus and other endocrine glands. However, not all cells can receive all hormones. Target cells are cells that have receptors on them for a specific hormone. So a target cell may have a receptor for GH hormone, thus allowing GH to be absorbed by only the target cells with GH receptors.

Target cells are equipped with specific receptor molecules?

Which biologic therapy produced by b lymphocytes is capable of binding to target cells?
The biological therapy that is capable of binding to target cells is called Monoclonal Antibodies. This therapy produces lymphocytes and binds to target cells.
What are the cells that respond to the effects of a hormone called?

How does protein hormones reach their target cells?
Usually in blood plasma, which carries them to their target cells. They 'recognize' these cells based on receptors on the cell membranes to which they bind.
Where do hormone go?
hormones go to there target cells or target organs
What determines what cell a hormone will effect?
The target receptor proteins of cells will cause them to affected by a specific protein. These cells are also called "target" cells. Hormones flow via the bloodstream throughout the entire body, but they only affect their specific "target" cells.
What Peripheral cells sensitive to the presence of hormones are called?
