The Smooth endoplasmic Reticulum, catalyze reactions involved with:
synthesis of steroid based hormones like sex hormones.
What else can I help you with?
Which is not a steroid based hormone?
List of steroid based hormones: * Glucocorticoids * Mineralocorticoids * Androgen * Estrogen * Progestogen
Why does most amino acid based hormones bind to cell membrane receptors?
Most amino acid-based hormones are hydrophilic molecules that cannot pass through the cell membrane. Therefore, these hormones bind to specific cell membrane receptors to initiate a signaling cascade within the cell. This binding triggers a series of events that ultimately lead to changes in gene expression, protein synthesis, or other cellular responses.
What is the difference and similarities between non steroid hormones and steroid hormones?
Different chemical classes of hormones are made from different substrates and are soluble in different solvents. Steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol and include: testosterone, aldosterone, cortisol, estradiol and progesterone. They are soluble in lipids (fat-soluble) and can therefore be administered orally. Other kinds of hormones, eg: tyrosine-based hormones and protein hormones, are made from different substances (eg: amino acids) and may be water soluble and therefore cannot be administered orally.
Why can steroid and thyroid hormones but not amino acid-based hormones move across cell membranes?
Steroid and thyroid hormones are lipid soluble, allowing them to diffuse directly across cell membranes. Amino acid-based hormones are water soluble and require specific receptor-mediated mechanisms to enter cells.
What is the difference between receptors for steroid hormones and Peptide hormone?
Peptide based hormones exert their effects on a cell by way of second messengers (cAMP or PIP) pathways. Steroid based hormones exert their effects on a target cell via direct gene activation.
What phase is most protein synthesis occurs in?
Protein synthesis primarily occurs during the translation phase of protein production. This is where messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded by ribosomes to produce specific amino acid sequences based on the genetic code.
The ribosome is a organelle that functions in the process of?
The ribosome is a cellular organelle that functions in protein synthesis, building proteins based on instructions from messenger RNA molecules. It serves as the site for translation of genetic information from RNA into proteins.
How is protein synthesis related to gene expression?
Protein synthesis is the process where proteins are produced based on the information encoded in genes. Gene expression involves the process where the information in a gene is used to produce a functional product, such as a protein. Protein synthesis is a key component of gene expression, as it is the step where the genetic information in the gene is translated into a functional protein.
How does the presence of the aug protein impact the process of protein synthesis?
The presence of the AUG protein helps to initiate the process of protein synthesis by serving as the start codon that signals the beginning of translation. This codon is recognized by the ribosome, which then starts assembling the amino acids into a protein chain based on the instructions encoded in the mRNA.
Hormones are classified as?
Hormones are classified as chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands that regulate various physiological processes in the body. They can be further categorized as steroid hormones, peptide hormones, and amines based on their chemical structure.
How are nucleic acids are involved in protein synthesis?
The single-strand uracil-based ribsomal nucleic acid called mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) serves as the "blueprint" in protein synthesis. It carries instructions from DNA (double-stranded thymine-based deoxyribonucelic acid) in a cell's nucleus to a ribosome where protein synthesis is carried out. At the ribosome, rRNA (ribsomal ribonucleic acid) is the central component of the protein synthesis machinery that assembles amino acids to form a protein according to the mRNA information; tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) provides the amino acids specified by the rRNA.
Prokaryotes have what structure necessary for protein synthesis?
Prokaryotes have ribosomes, which are the structures necessary for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are responsible for assembling amino acids into proteins based on the instructions provided by messenger RNA (mRNA).
