How do peptide hormones exert action?

The peptide hormone is used to include hormones that are peptides,proteins,glycoprotein,and modified amino acids. peptide hormones binds to a receptor protein in the target cell's plasma membrane; a realy system leads to conversion of ATP to cAMP(cyclic adenosine mono phosphate).peptide hormones are the first messenger and cAMP and calcium are the second messengers. peptide hormones does not enter the cell; second messenger sets an enzyme cascade in motion.


Is FSH steroid or hormone?

First off, steroids and hormones are not mutually exclusive groups. The term "steroid" reflect a molecule's chemical structure -- all steroids share the same chemical backbone of cholesterol, which is why they are placed in the same group. The term "hormone" refers specifically to the molecule's function. A hormone is any chemical signal that travels via the bloodstream. Its chemical structure can be that of a steroid (hence we often talk about steroid hormones), it can be a protein or small peptide (hence protein and peptide hormones), or it can be in another class altogether (such as the catecholaminergic hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline). Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted in the bloodstream by the pituitary gland and signals events to occur in distant target organs; thus FSH is a hormone. However, it is made of many amino acids strung together; thus FSH is a protein. So FSH is a protein hormone. Hope that helps.
