    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.
