Determinants of the Concentration of a Hormone at the Target Cell• The rate of synthesis and secretion of the hormones.
• The proximity of the target cell to the hormone source (dilution effect).
• The dissociation constants of the hormone with specific plasma transport proteins (if any).
• The conversion of inactive or sub-optimally active forms of the hormone into the fully active form.
• The rate of clearance from plasma by other tissues or by digestion, metabolism, or excretion.
Determinants of the Target Cell Response
• The number, relative activity, and state of occupancy of the specific receptors on the plasma membrane or in the cytoplasm or nucleus.
• The metabolism (activation or inactivation) of the hormone in the target cell.
• The presence of other factors within the cell that are necessary for the hormone response.
• Up- or down-regulation of the receptor consequent to the interaction with the ligand.
• Post-receptor de-sensitzation of the cell, including down-regulation of the receptor.
Both Recognition & Coupling Domains Occur on Receptors• The domains responsible for hormone recognition and signal
generation have been identified in the protein polypeptide and catecholamine hormone receptors.
• The dual functions of binding and coupling ultimately define a receptor, and it is the coupling of hormone binding to signal transduction—so-called receptor-effector coupling —that provides the first step in amplification of the hormonal response.
• This dual purpose also distinguishes the target cell receptor from the plasma carrier proteins that bind hormone but do not generate a signal.
Receptors Are Proteins
• The insulin receptor is a heterotetramer composed of two copies of two different protein subunits ( α2, β2 ) linked by multiple disulfide bonds in which the extracellular subunit binds insulin and the membrane-spanning subunit transduces the signal through the tyrosine protein kinase domain located in the cytoplasmic portion of this polypeptide.
• The receptors for insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are generally similar in structure to the insulin receptor.
• A comparison of several different steroid receptors with thyroid hormone receptors revealed a remarkable conservation of the amino acid sequence in certain regions, particularly in the DNA-binding domains.
