Endocrinology & Hormones

Peptide and steroid hormones are main types of hormones in the endocrine system. Peptide hormones bind receptors expressed in the membrane and indirectly induce the synthesis of cAMP. Steroid hormones bind receptors in the cytosol or nucleus, then activate specific genes. Androgen Receptor, Estrogen receptor, Aromatase, 5-alpha-reductase, OXTR and melanocortin-1 receptor are all important targets involved in Endocrinology and Hormone.
