Source sentences:
text: When a peptide hormone binds to a receptor on the surface of the cell, a second messenger appears in the cytoplasm, which triggers signal transduction leading to the cellular responses.
text: While steroid hormones are directly involved in the transcription of mRNA, as they bind to the DNA of their target cells and facilitate the transcription of specific genes, peptide hormones bind to the receptor on the surface of the membrane of the target cell.
text: Since peptide hormones bind to receptors at the surface, their effect is faster than steroid hormones.
