Chapter 37.7, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To recall:
Asimilar type of condition involving the transporters is present in the cytosolic vesicles and engaged to the plasma membrane due to the hormone action.
Introduction:
The hormone can be defined as a chemical substance that is produced in the body which regulates the action of some cells or organs. Many hormones are released by special glands such as the thyroid hormone that is formed by the thyroid gland.
The pancreasis a large gland located behind the stomach. It secretes the digestive enzymes into the duodenum. It has the islets of Langerhans embedded in it.It secretes the insulin and glucagon hormones into the blood. It is a heterocrine gland.

Students have asked these similar questions
Most hormones, such as peptide hormones, exert their effects by binding to cell- surface receptors. However, steroid hormones do so by binding to cytosolic receptors. How is this possible?
in the insulin signaling pathway, the function of the PIP3-dependent Protein Kinase-1 is to add a __ group to the enzyme __ , which activates that enzyme.
True or False
Activation of a G protein complex causes a conformational change in the α subunit, allowing GDP to be replaced by GTP
