To propose a hypothesis: How steroid and thyroid hormone receptor encode genes that evolved.
Concept introduction:
Endocrine cells secrete hormones into the extracellular fluids, which are signaling molecules. The secreted hormones reach target cells through the bloodstream. Hormones bind only to specific cells based on the corresponding receptors and they act through the chemical signals. They maintain homeostasis and regulate growth, development, blood pressure,
Both thyroid and steroid hormones are lipid soluble hormones, they can diffuse plasma membrane and bind to transport proteins inside the cells and also they bind to the cytoplasmic receptors. Both the receptors have structural similarities and they are from nuclear receptor “superfamily” of proteins. The steroid/thyroid receptor isoforms may be evolved from the same gene by post-translational modifications or splicing.

- Please I need help understanding this questionarrow_forward32. Through our expertise in biochemical manipulation, we found a way to alter the G protein-coupled receptor for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The alteration stopped the binding of FSH to the receptor completely stopping all cellular effects. What effect does this have on other hormones that bind to G protein-coupled receptors such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)? to. It will stop these effects as well since they all use the adenylyl cyclase pathway b. It will only stop the effects of other gonadal hormones such as LH It will stop ALL cellular effects that use G protein-coupled receptors dBoth A and C It will do nothing to any other hormone since all receptors are unique to each hormonearrow_forwardgive the basics of a disease and its relationship to a faulty signal transduction pathway. Describe some of these diseases in the table below:arrow_forward

- 2. Researchers have discovered significant changes in the gene of some protein, which is a substrate for the insulin receptor. What impact on the insulin signal transduction would such changes have? For the answer: a) draw the scheme of insulin signal transduction in the target cell; b) name proteins and enzymes, activated by insulin in the target cells; c) explain the functions of these enzymes.arrow_forwardWA 82. Regulation of cellular metabolism by insulin requires activation of the insulin-receptor substrate protein-1 (IRS1). Some individuals who have type 2 diabetes mellitus have mutations in the IRS1 gene. Which of the following normal steps in insulin signaling is most likely to be impaired by these mutations? A) Cleavage of IRS1 by the insulin receptor B) Phosphorylation of IRS1 by the insulin receptor C) Production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by IRS1 D) Stimulation of a G protein by IRS1 E) Synthesis of diacylglycerol by IRS1arrow_forwardA. What is the difference between preproinsulin and proinsulin? B. What is cleaved out of proinsulin to allow the mature insulin molecule to be formed? C. What is the C peptide and why is it medically significant? D. What is the purpose of the signal sequence and why isn’t it present in the mature insulin molecule?arrow_forward
