steroid vs protein hormones
RE: Steroid hormones vs Peptide/Protein and Amino Acid Derivative hormones, signal transduction? I know that Steroid hormones can pass right through the membrane of the cell to carry on the message inside because it is lipophilic.lso, i Know that peptide/protein and amino acid derivative hormones and lipophobic and cannot pas through the membrane. So it the hormone needs to bind to the receptor on the surface of the membrane, causing a cascade of events like activating the G protein, cAMP and some crap like that.
