They travel through the blood until they reach a cell with a receptor that they fit in, then a molecule attaches to the receptor and sends a signal inside the cell. The signal may tell the cell to produce a certain protein or to multiply.

Once Hormones are realized into the system, they are distributed throughout the body. The protein hormones are water soluble and circulate in free forms. This process immediately exposes these water-soluble hormones to circulating catabolizing enzymes giving them an expected half life of seconds to minutes.
Hormones are regulatory substances secreted in an organism to stimulate or trigger specific tissues or cells into some action, and are transported to their areas of action through tissue fluids.
