    Comparing Between Steroid and Non-Steroid Mechanisms

    Steroid hormones can pass through cell membranes and bind directly to intracellular receptors to form complexes that activate genes, resulting in long-term effects through transcription and translation. Non-steroid hormones bind to cell surface receptors and trigger a cascade of intracellular events involving cAMP, protein kinase, and enzyme activation that produces short-term effects without directly activating genes. Both types of hormones act through receptor binding and complex formation to influence target cells.

    Comparing Non-Steroid Hormone and Steroid Hormone Mechanism of Action

    Steroid hormone Non-steroid hormone Similarities: Both types of hormones act on target cells with receptors specific for them. The hormones bind to hormone receptors. Hormone can easily pass through the plasma membrane and enter the target cell. Hormone binds to the protein receptor in the cytoplasm or nucleus to form a hormonereceptor complex. The complex formed does not activate adenylyl cyclase. There is no production of cAMP. No activation of protein kinase by cAMP. No activation of enzymes by protein kinase. There is no cascade effect. The hormone-receptor complex activates genes. Transcription followed by translation takes place. Produces long-term effects. Hormone cannot pass through the plasma membrane and therefore cannot enter the cell. Hormone binds to the protein receptor in the plasma membrane to form a hormonereceptor complex. The complex formed activates adenylyl cyclase in the plasma membrane. The enzyme adenylyl cyclase converts ATP to cAMP. The cAMP produced activates protein kinase in the target cell. The protein kinase activates other enzymes. Cascade effect occurs to amplify the effect of hormone. The hormone-receptor complex does not activate genes. Transcription and translation does not take place. Produces short-term effects.
