Answer:

A hormone receptor is a receptor molecule that binds to a specific hormone. Hormone receptors are a wide family of proteins made up of receptors for thyroid and steroid hormones, retinoids and Vitamin D, and a variety of other receptors for various ligands, such as fatty acids and prostaglandins.

Hormone receptors are proteins that bind hormones. Once bound, the hormone/receptor complex initiates a cascade of cellular effects resulting in some modification of physiology and/or behavior. Hormones usually require receptor binding to mediate a cellular response.

For some of these classes, in any given species (such as, for example, humans), there is a single molecule encoded by a single gene; in other cases, there are several molecules in the class.

Androgen receptors.

Calcitriol receptors.

Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1.

Corticotropin releasing hormone receptor 2.

Estrogen receptors.

Follicle-stimulating hormone receptors.

Glucagon receptors.

Gonadotropin receptors.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors.

Growth hormone receptors.
