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, thyroid hormone 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 .

No footnotes date February 2011 The gastrointestinal hormones or gut hormones constitute a group of hormone s secreted by enteroendocrine cell s in the stomach , pancreas , and small intestine that control various functions of the digestive organs. Later studies showed that most of the gut peptides, such as secretin , cholecystokinin or substance P , were found to play a role of neurotransmitter s and neuromodulator s in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Enteroendocrine cells do not form endocrine glands but are spread throughout the digestive tract. They exert their autocrine and paracrine actions that integrate all of gastrointestinal function. Types of Gastrointestinal hormones The gastrointestinal hormones can be divided into three main groups based upon their chemical structure . Gastrin family Gastrin cholecystokinin family gastrin and cholecystokinin Secretin family secretin , glucagon , vasoactive intestinal peptide and gastric inhibitory peptide Somatostatin family Motilin family Substance P . Ghrelin is a peptide hormone released from the stomach and is often referred to as the hunger hormone since high levels of it are found in individuals that are fasting. Ghrelin antagonistic treatments can be used to treat illnesses such as anorexia and loss of appetites in cancer patients. Ghrelin treatments for obesity are still under intense scrutiny and no conclusive evidence has been reached. This hormone stimulates growth hormone release. Cholecystokinin is responsible for gall bladder secretions, gastrointestinal motility as well as pancreatic exocrine secretions. Peptide YY is involved mostly in satiation modulation. Pancreatic polypeptide function is most apparent in control of gastrointestinal motility and satiation Amylin controls glucose homeostasis and gastric motility Glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide possesses an acute influence on food ...

Adipokinetic hormone AKH is a short peptide hormone that has been studied in insect s. It is a lipid mobilising hormone and is responsible for regulating fuel transport in the haemolymph , for redirecting energy to other processes as required by the insect.

A counterregulatory hormone is a hormone that opposes the action of another. The action of insulin is counterregulated by glucagon , adrenaline epinephrine , noradrenaline norepinephrine , cortisol , and growth hormone . These counterregulatory hormones the term is usually used in the plural raise the level of glucose in the blood by promoting glycogenolysis , gluconeogenesis , ketosis , and other catabolic processes. In healthy people, counterregulatory hormones constitute a principal defense against hypoglycemia , and levels are expected to rise as the glucose falls. Persistent elevation of a counterregulatory hormone can reduce a person s insulin sensitivity sensitivity to insulin . Similarly, the natriuretic peptide s counterregulate against renin , angiotensin , and aldosterone which elevate blood pressure. ref cite journal title Natriuretic peptides Physiology, therapeutic potential, and risk stratification in ischemic heart disease author Stein BC, Levin RI journal Am Heart J volume 135 issue 5 pages 914 23 date May 1998 pmid 9588425 Verify source date June 2011 ref In the reproductive system, inhibins and follistatin counterregulate activins , to control follicle stimulating hormone and so the release of gonads . ref cite journal journal Semin Reprod Med. date 2004 Aug volume 22 issue 3 pages 209 17 title Inhibins, activins, and follistatin in the aging female and male author Hurwitz JM, Santoro N pmid 15319823 Verify source date June 2011 ref Inhibins and activins also regulate bone mass. ref cite journal journal Mol Cell Endocrinol. date 2009 10 30 volume 310 issue 1 2 pages 11 20 title Regulation of osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis by the other reproductive hormones, Activin and Inhibin author Nicks KM, Perrien DS, Akel NS, Suva LJ, Gaddy D pmid 19615428 pmc 2951729 ref References reflist Further reading cite journal title Sweet talk in the brain glucosensing ... 305 pmid 20375118 pmc 2886811 DEFAULTSORT Counterregulatory Hormone Category Hormones of glucose metabolism ... more details
