Source sentences:
text: When a hormone binds to the receptor, it results in the activation of a signal transduction pathway that typically activates gene transcription, resulting in increased expression of target proteins; non-genomic effects are more rapid, and can be synergistic with genomic effects.
text: Upon reaching a target site, a hormone binds to a receptor, much like a key fits into a lock.
text: To bind their receptors, these hormones must first cross the cell membrane.
text: Hormones also differ in where their receptors are found in the target cell, and the type of effect they cause when they bind to their receptors.
text: When the hormone binds to the receptor, it causes a change in the receptor's conformation , or shape.
text: In both cases, the hormone binds to the receptor to form a complex, and then the hormone-receptor complex activates specific genes within the nucleus, leading to synthesis of new proteins.
text: Once the hormone binds to the receptor, a chain of events takes place, which eventually leads to the generation of proteins.
text: When a hormone reaches a target cell, it binds to a receptor to initiate a response.
text: When a hormone binds to a receptor, the receptor carries out the hormone's instructions, either by altering the cell's existing proteins or turning on genes that will build a new protein.
