How do water soluble hormone like calcitonin or epinephrine affects a cell through a second-messenger system?
It binds to the receptors outside the cells
A major determinant of a hormone’s mechanism of action is?
whether the hormone is water soluble or lipid soluble
Is growth hormone water soluble or lipid soluble?
lipid soluble
Why do lipid soluble signaling molecules like testosterone cross membranes of all cells but effect only target cells?
Because response of a cell to a signaling requires that the responding cell have receptors that recognize that hormone. Only target cells of a signal have the receptors for the signal.
Is estrogen a lipid soluble?
yes, estrogen is a lipid soluble hormone.
Is Parathyroid hormone water soluble?
Yes. It is not a steroid so it is water soluble!
Is aldosterone a water soluble hormone?
No, it is lipid solubleIt is a steroid hormone based of cholesterol
Why some steroid hormones do not require a membrane receptor?
Because they are lipid soluble and therefore are readily diffusable across the cell membrane. Their receptors are found within the cytoplasm or nucleus
Is anti-diuretic hormone water soluble?
yes
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.
Where are Receptors for most water soluble hormones located?
On the plasma membrane of their target cells.
What fat-soluble vitamin is considered a hormone?
vitamin D
