Message definition (Endocrine system)
Hormones affect distant cells by binding to specific [[receptor (biochemistry)|receptor]] proteins in the target cell resulting in a change in cell function. This may lead to cell type-specific responses that include rapid changes to the activity of existing proteins, or slower changes in the [[gene expression|expression]] of target genes. Amino acid–based hormones ([[amines]] and [[peptide hormone|peptide or protein hormones]]) are water-soluble and act on the surface of target cells via [[signal transduction]] pathways; [[steroid hormone]]s, being lipid-soluble, move through the [[plasma membrane]]s of target cells to act within their [[cell nucleus|nuclei]].
