Document Summary
The hormone is transported by the blood to a distant target site. It involves the production and release of a hormone from a deciated gland. These hormones travel in the blood until they reach the target organs, which are often dedicated endocrine hormones. When they bind this hormone, they release their own hormones which reach other organs. Cell released hormonal substance, but the receptors for this substance is on the cell. There are genes that encode for enzymes that are involved in the synthesis: amines - not encoded by genes. There are genes that encode for enzymes that are involved in the synthesis: when ca is low, physiological response to raise levels. There is no gene to make it: synthesis of protein hormones. Proteins are made n terminus to c terminus. The insulin gene has an open reading frame in the rna encodes a protein that is larger than the insulin protein.
