text: The main difference between steroid hormones and peptide hormones is that steroid hormones bind to the receptors inside the cytoplasm to act as second messengers, modifying the transcription, whereas peptide hormones mainly bind to the cell surface receptors the DNA in the nucleus.
text: So, non-steroid hormones will bind with these receptors on the plasma membrane and then a second messenger will deliver the information to the inside the cell, where the cell's function can then be altered because of the steroid.
text: It binds to the receptor found in the cytoplasm of the target cell.
