Did you mean Hormone Receptors?

GlossaryHormone Receptors

specialized proteins that bind hormones to trigger cellular responses

Hormone receptors are specialized proteins located on the surface of or inside cells that bind to specific hormones. When a hormone attaches to its receptor, it triggers a response in the cell, such as altering gene expression or changing cell behavior. This interaction is crucial for regulating various bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, and mood.
