Each hormone is a signal for the cell, that a specific chemical reaction must be done.

As the molecules of hormones attach to cell receptors, adenylyl cyclase (transmembrane protein) is activated. Activated Adenylyl cyclase modifies ATP to form cyclic adenine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP then activates various enzymes that catalyse the necessary reaction. Therefore, cAMP is an intermedium between the hormone and the result (chemical reaction).
