The mechanism through which a single hormone molecule triggers the generation of thousands to millions of enzyme molecules is called biological signal transduction
This process begins with a hormone molecule binding to its receptor on the surface of a cell. Following this, there is a signal generated.Inmolecular Biology, asignal is said to be generated when a certain inter-cellular or membrane-bound protein becomes phosphorylated and triggers further downstream events.
The ultimate result (or the end step) ofthis signal transduction pathwayis to up-regulate thetranscription of a specific enzyme-coding gene. When many copies of thisgene are transcribed,several molecules of the enzymeswill be produces.

Is insulin a steroid hormone?
Insulin is an anabolic hormone as: 1) it promotes glycogen synthesis & inhibits glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in carbohydrates. 2) it promotes lipogenesis & inhibits lipolysis. 3) promotes protein synthesis & inhibits protein degradation
