Question

In the mechanism of action of protein hormone, one of the second messenger is

Answer 1

Answer:

So, they bind to their extracellular receptors present on the membrane. Once the protein hormone binds to the receptor, a series of reactions occur beginning with the production of adenyl cyclase enzyme. This enzyme leads to the production of cyclic AMP or cAMP which is the secondary messenger

Answer 2

Protein and peptide hormones, catecholamines like epinephrine, and eicosanoids such as prostaglandins find their receptors decorating the plasma membrane of target cells. ... The second messengers then trigger a series of molecular interactions that alter the physiologic state of the cell.
