What else can I help you with?
Which one of these hormones does not act on a second messenger system is it Glycogen Epinephrine growth hormone or testosterone or acth which one?
Testosterone does not act on a second messenger system. Testosterone acts directly on genes within a cell to initiate cellular changes, whereas the other hormones listed (Glycogen, Epinephrine, Growth Hormone, ACTH) typically use second messenger systems to transmit their signals inside the cell.
Why is a second messenger not necessary in a steroid hormone?
Steroid hormones act in the transcriptional level in the nucleus of a cell, due to their ability to travel through cell membranes (hydrophillic). Second messengers are necessary for hormones that cannot penetrate cell membranes (peptides).
Which of the following does not act as a second messenger in the second messenger system calmodulin or inositol triphosphate or cyclic AMP?
inositol triphosphateInositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) are important second messengers. Their formation begins with the binding of an extracellular regulatory
What are chemicals that act as messengers throughout the body?
The chemical messenger is a hormone which are produced by endocrine glands
What is the difference between a hormone and a secondary messenger?
The primary effector creates a signal that can diffuse within the cell. This signal is called the "secondary messenger." (The neurotransmitter is the first messenger.) The secondary messenger may then activate a "secondary effector" whose effects depend on the particular secondary messenger system.
Why is cyclic AMP a secondary messenger?
because original message is carried by hormone, which cant act directly, so in turn it activates cyclic AMP.
True or false steroid hormones perform accoding to the second messenger mechanism?
steroid hormones are hydrophobic and bind to transport proteins which bind to receptors within the nucleus. hydrophillic hormones bind to plasma membrane receptors and act through second messenger systems
What is hormone insulin in?
Pancrease secrete hormone insulin.It act in reducing glucose level.
Does G protein act as a second messenger?
No, G proteins do not act as second messengers. Instead, they are signaling molecules that transmit signals from cell surface receptors to downstream effectors such as enzymes or ion channels. G proteins can activate or inhibit these effectors in response to extracellular stimuli.
Nitric oxide may act as a biological messenger?
true
What gland functions as part of the endocrine system by secreting a hormone that functions as part of the endocrine and immune systems?
cortisole i guess you mean which is secreted from adrenal its not a part of immune system but it has a permissive act in immunity
Does vitamin D act as a hormone in the body?
Yes, vitamin D can act as a hormone in the body by regulating calcium and phosphorus levels, promoting bone health, and influencing various cellular processes.
