Paracrine Signaling by Local
Regulators
• In paracrine signaling, nonhormonal
chemical signals called local regulators elicit
responses in nearby target cells
• Types of local regulators:
– Neurotransmitters
– Cytokines and growth factors
– Nitric oxide
– Prostaglandins
• Prostaglandins help regulate aggregation of
platelets, an early step in formation of blood
clots

Concept 45.2: Hormones and other
chemical signals bind to target cell
receptors, initiating pathways that
culminate in specific cell responses
• Hormones convey information via the
bloodstream to target cells throughout the
body
• Three major classes of molecules function
as hormones in vertebrates:
– Proteins and peptides
– Amines derived from amino acids
– Steroids
• Signaling by any of these hormones
involves three key events:
– Reception
– Signal transduction
– Response

Intracellular Receptors for
Lipid-Soluble Hormones
• Steroids, thyroid hormones, and the hormonal
form of vitamin D enter target cells and bind
to protein receptors in the cytoplasm or
nucleus
• Protein-receptor complexes then act as
transcription factors in the nucleus, regulating
transcription of specific genes

Which of the following statements about hormones is
correct?
– A. Steroid and peptide hormones produce different
effects but use the same biochemical mechanisms.
– B. Steroid and peptide hormones produce the same
effects but differ in the mechanisms that produce the
effects.
– C. Steroid hormones affect the synthesis of proteins,
whereas peptide hormones affect the activity of
proteins already present in the cell.
– D. Steroid hormones affect the activity of certain
proteins within the cell, whereas peptide hormones
directly affect the processing of mRNA.
– E. Steroid hormones affect the synthesis of proteins to
be exported from the cell, whereas peptide hormones
affect the synthesis of proteins that remain in the cell.
