A hormone receptor is a molecule that can bind to a specific hormone . Receptors for peptide hormones tend to be found on the cell membrane plasma membrane of cells, whereas receptors for lipophillicity lipid soluble hormones are usually found within the cytoplasm . Upon hormone binding, the receptor can initiate multiple signaling pathways which ultimately lead to changes in the behaviour of the target cells. Peptide hormone receptors Many hormones are composed of peptides polypeptides , e.g. thyroid stimulating hormone , follicle stimulating hormone , leutinizing hormone and insulin . These molecules are not lipid soluble and therefore cannot molecular diffusion diffuse through cell membranes. Consequently, receptors for peptide hormones are located on the plasma membrane. Peptide hormone receptors are often transmembrane protein s. They are also called G protein coupled receptor s, sensory receptor s or ionotropic receptor s. These receptors generally function via intracellular second messengers , including cyclic AMP cAMP , inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate Inositol triphosphate IP3 and the Calcium signaling calcium Ca sup 2 sup calmodulin system. Lipid soluble hormone receptors Steroid hormone receptor s and related receptors are generally soluble proteins that function through gene activation. Their response elements are DNA sequences promoters that are bound by the complex of the steroid bound to its receptor. The receptors themselves are zinc finger proteins. ref http users.rcn.com jkimball.ma.ultranet BiologyPages S SteroidREs.html Steroid Hormone Receptors and their Response Elements ref These receptors include those for Glucocorticoid glucocorticoids , estrogen s, androgen s, thyroidhormone T3 , calcitriol the active form of vitamin D , and the retinoid s vitamin A .

distinguish Release factor A releasing hormone or releasing factor is a hormone whose main purpose is to control the release of another hormone. The main releasing hormones secreted by the hypothalamus are Thyrotropin releasing hormone TRH , Corticotropin releasing hormone CRH , Gonadotropin releasing hormone GnRH , Growth hormone releasing hormone GHRH , Two other factors are also classed as releasing hormones, although they in fact inhibit pituitary hormone release Somatostatin , Dopamine . For example, TRH is released from the hypothalamus in response to low levels of secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone TSH from the pituitary gland . The TSH in turn is under feedback control by the thyroid hormones Thyroxine T4 and Triiodothyronine T3 . When the levels of TSH are too high, they feed back on the brain to shut down the secretion of TRH. Synthetic TRH is also used by physicians as a test of TSH reserve in the pituitary gland as it should stimulate the release of TSH and prolactin from this gland. Releasing hormones are sometimes known as liberins. For example, TRH may be known as thyroliberin. Inhibiting hormones may be known as statins. For example, dopamine which inhibits prolactin release may be called prolactostatin. Mechanism Releasing hormones increase or, in case of inhibitory factors, decrease the intracellular concentration of calcium Ca sup 2 sup , resulting in vesicle fusion of the respective primary hormone. For GnRH, TRH and GHRH the increase in Ca sup 2 sup is achieved by the releasing hormone coupling and activating G protein coupled receptors coupled to the Gq alpha subunit G sub q sub alpha subunit , activating the IP3 DAG pathway to increase Ca sup 2 ... and Medicine in 1977 for their contributions to understanding the peptide hormone production ... 11 Fulltext .

Infobox Organization name The Hormone Foundation headquarters Chevy Chase , Maryland location United States formation 1997 website div class plainlinks http www.hormone.org div The Hormone Foundation , established in 1997 by The Endocrine Society as its public education affiliate, serves as a resource for physicians, patients, and the public by promoting the prevention, treatment and cure of hormone related conditions through outreach and education. The Hormone Foundation addresses endocrine conditions such as Obesity Diabetes Breast Cancer Thyroid Disorders Human development biology Growth Disorders Hormone Abuse Menopause Osteoporosis Pituitary Disorders Low Testosterone Metabolism Metabolic Syndrome Adrenal Disorders Projects and resources The Hormone Foundation got its start with one simple project, an expert consensus meeting in Charlottesville , Virginia on breast cancer and estrogen use. Since then, it has developed other educational projects on endocrine diseases and conditions. Bilingual fact sheets The Hormone Foundation s bilingual fact sheets are unique in the field of endocrinology, providing information in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian. The bilingual fact sheets can be found in the following areas Cushing s Syndrome Breast Cancer Prevention Hormones, Women and Breast Cancer Hormones and Hypertension Hormones and Obesity Hormones and Your Heart Hyperlipidemia The Metabolic Syndrome Diabetes and Incretin Based Therapy Diabetes and New Insulins ...
