Comparison Of Steroid Vs Peptide Hormone Pathways — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
Comparison of Steroid vs. Peptide Hormone Pathways Labelled parts: Steroid Hormone, Lipid-Soluble, Intracellular Receptor, Genome, DNA, mRNA, Peptide Hormone, Water-Soluble, Surface Receptor, Secondary Messengers, Enzyme Activation. Lipid-soluble hormones (e.g., estrogen, cortisol) that can pass through the cell membrane to bind intracellular receptors and regulate gene expression. Water-soluble hormones (e.g., insulin) that bind to receptors on the cell surface, triggering a signal cascade via secondary messengers. The process by which a chemical or physical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events.
