Hi, Wikipedia Community! I am looking to edit this page and have a few ideas on things that I would like to add.

I am planning on extending the introduction/definition of hormone receptors. Firstly, I want to assert how cells respond to their environment based on hormones and chemical signaling that occurs between hormones and their receptors, and how the extracellular environment induces changes on the inside on the cell. Also, I am going to touch on how hormone receptors can aid gene expression. I want to touch on (whether in the initial section or subsequent segments, depending on how I think the organization will be best) the different ways hormone receptors can act (potent signals, extracellular signals, intracellular signals are the most likely things I will touch on).

I am going to add a section on binding to hormone receptors, which will include how the binding of a hormone to its receptor occurs as a result of weak interactions and how the structure of receptors allows these interactions to occur. I feel that this is important in showing how these receptors function so well and allow the basis for interaction in order to contribute to cell signaling.

Additionally, I would like to elaborate on both the water-soluble and lipid-soluble sections and elaborate on the purposes and functions of them because right now those sections are limited to how they work, rather than what they contribute to and do.

Lastly, the page contains a list of examples of hormone receptors. While I think keeping this as a list is best because those pages contain the information that I would likely add, I think separating these lists into different characterizations of hormone receptors would provide a stronger organization and lead to a better understanding if somebody is coming to the page to look for something specific.

Hope this sounds good! Any feedback would be appreciated.

Photo of Zinc Finger

Hello friends,

I would like to insert a photo of the zinc fingers of the lipid soluble hormone receptors. I have found an image on wiki commons for the human progesterone receptor. It is a cartoon representation of the how the zinc fingers of the hormone receptor interact with the DNA.

Hi,

I am planning on editing this page by adding new references. Let me know if you have any comments or concerns about the following references.

Hi, I want to add content on G-protein coupled receptors in the section on transmembrane receptors and their transmission of a signal because they are a major and important group of these receptors and there is not any information on them in this article. I believe I will add a comprehensive section that does not duplicate other sections as there is no previous information about G-protein coupled receptors. I will also add references for this new information which are listed below. Every statement is associated with a supporting reference, the sources are the best available and are appropriate for the discipline. Additionally the references can be used to support other material in the article and supplement the citations that are not as strong.

Citation 1- Hormones and the Endocrine System discusses the different types of hormone receptors, the majority of which are G-protein coupled receptors or nuclear receptors. It discusses the exchange of GDP for GTP and the cellular targets. (Kleine, Bernhard; Rossmanith, Winfried G. (2016), "Hormone Receptors", Hormones and the Endocrine System, Springer International Publishing, pp. 247–259, doi:10.1007/978-3-319-15060-4_8, ISBN 9783319150598, retrieved 2018-09-30)

Citation 2- Principles of Endocrinology and Hormone Action discusses hormone receptors and signal transduction processes. It includes information on all types of hormone receptors. Specifically the information cited is about GPCRs and the signaling mechanism. (Principles of endocrinology and hormone action. Belfiore, Antonino,, LeRoith, Derek, 1945-. Cham. ISBN 9783319446752. OCLC 1021173479.)

Citation 3- Molecular Endocrinology additionally discusses hormones, their receptors and their transduction processes. It specifically discusses the ligand binding interaction and the GDP/GTP exchange. ( F., Bolander, Franklyn (1989). Molecular endocrinology. San Diego: Academic Press. ISBN 0121112306. OCLC 18324100.)

Citation 4- Molecular Biology of Steroid and Nuclear Hormone Receptors does not discuss GPCRs but it does provide a lot of important information on steroid and nuclear hormone receptors, which can support the already existing information/citations in the article. (Molecular biology of steroid and nuclear hormone receptors. Freedman, Leonard P., 1958-. Boston: Birkhauser. 1998. ISBN 0817639527. OCLC 36961128.)
