This class of molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane and bind to
Receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus. They are all synthesized from
cholesterol.
They include sex steroids (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)
corticosteroids
(glucocorticoids and mineralcorticoids)
Thyroid hormone, vitamin D3, and retinoic acid have different structure
and
function but share the same mechanism of action with the other steroids.
Steroid Receptor Superfamily. They are transcription factors that
function either
as activators or repressors of transcription.
3. Neurotransmitters
They signal from neuron to neuron or from neuron to
other target cell
(ex. muscle cell ).

Receptors in the Plasma Membrane
• Most water-soluble signal molecules bind to
specific sites on receptor proteins in the
plasma membrane
• There are three main types of membrane
receptors:
– G-protein-linked receptors
– Receptor tyrosine kinases
– Ion channel receptors

Phosphorylation
Cascade
Signal transduction pathways often
involve an enzyme phosphorylation
.cascade
A series of protein kinases each
activate the next in a series by
phosphorylating the inactive
.precursor
Because each protein kinase is an
enzyme it catalyzes activation of a
number of the inactive kinases of the
.next member in the series
The result is a large amplification of
the original signal, binding of a
.hormone to the external receptor
