Flowchart
Peptide vs Steroid Hormones
Flowchart content
Peptide Hormones
Steroid Hormones
Structure
Site of synthesis
Regulation of release
Transport in bloodstream
Specificity
Timing of effect
Mechanism of effect
hydrophillic, large or small (polypeptide or amino acid derivatives
rough ER
stored in vesicles until secretion signal recieved
free, dissolve into the plasma
target cells have appropriate receptors
second messenger cascade to effect enzyme actiivity
rapid, short lived
hydrophobic, small
smooth ER
synthesized when needed and used immediately
stuck to protein carrier (albumin)
target cells have appropriate receptors
Regulate DNA transcription to alter gene expression
slow, long lasting
