Which type of hormone requires a second messenger?
Virtually all of the protein or amino acid-based hormones exert their effects through intracellular second messengers KT
What is the hormone of the thyroid?
T3-Triiodothyronin and T4-Thyroxine. These are amino acid based thyroid hormones that bind to receptors within the cell. They are stored in the colloid for about a couople of weeks as a protein called thyroglobulin.
What is protein based on?
In a chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
What kind of charge does protein have?
Proteins do have charges based on its amino acid content. there are polar uncharged and acidic, basic amino acids exist in the cells(Lysine, Arginine, asparic acid are a few charged groups). Based on the codes of mRNA proteins are formed by these amino acids in a sequence.
What element is based on the amino group of an amino acid?
nitrogenAmino acids are made up of a carbon atom with four groups attached: an amino group, an acid group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group. The amino group is made up of one nitrogen atom with three hydrogen atoms attached to it.
Why can steroid and thyroid hormones but not amino acid-based hormones move across cell membranes?
b/c steroid and thyroid hormones are fat soluble
What are thyroid hormones based on?
Thyroid hormones are made in the thyroid gland and are based on on the tyrosine amino acid composed of DNA base TAT or TAC. This gland usually secretes hormones which work toward Metabolism.
Chemically hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups called?
Chemically hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups. The two groups are the steroids and the amino acid based molecules.
What ion is sometimes used as a second messenger of amino acid based hormones?
Calcium
What are the hormones that are amino acid derivative?
3 examples of hormones that are amino acid or protein based are calcitonin, ACTH, and ADH. Two more examples are TSH and LH or FSH.
Virtually all of the protein or amino acid-based hormones exert their effects through intracellular?
second messengers
Which type of hormone requires a second messenger?
Virtually all of the protein or amino acid-based hormones exert their effects through intracellular second messengers KT
Why does most amino acid based hormones bind to cell membrane receptors?
This is because they do not have the ability to pass through the membrane, unlike steroid hormones. Steroid hormones bind inside the cell cytoplasm before docking onto the receptors.
Relationship between receptor protein and signal molecule?
Depending on what harmone it is, the hormone will attach to the receptor protein if the shape of the hormone and the receptor protein correspond.
What is the difference between receptors for steroid hormones and Peptide hormone?
Peptide based hormones exert their effects on a cell by way of second messengers (cAMP or PIP) pathways. Steroid based hormones exert their effects on a target cell via direct gene activation.
Examples of water soluble and lipid soluble compounds in living organism?
Amino acid based hormones such as Human Growth Hormone is an example of water soluble compounds. Steroid hormones and thyroid hormone are examples of lipid soluble compounds in living humans.
The amino group of an amino acid is based on which element?
nitrogin
