- Receptor, Cell Surface Receptor, Intracellular Receptor, Nuclear Receptor, G protein-coupled receptor, Transcription factor
01
Overview
A hormone receptor is a protein molecule that binds to a specific hormone. This binding initiates cellular responses, often by triggering signaling pathways or altering gene expression, depending on the type of receptor and hormone involved. Hormone receptors are crucial for regulating diverse physiological processes and are important therapeutic targets.

- Receptor for hormonesHormone-binding receptor
02
Mechanism of action
Agonists mimic the hormone, activating the receptor. Antagonists block the hormone from binding, inhibiting receptor activation. Some drugs modulate receptor activity (e.g., SERMs)
