  >   Rahul's Noteblog   >   Notes on Endocrinology   >   Hormonal Signaling Pathways

Important Endocrine Receptors:

cAMP: FSH, LH, ACTH, TSH, CRH, hCG, ADH (V2 receptor), MSH, PTH, Glucagon, Calcitonin.
Steroid receptor: Glucocorticoid, Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, Aldosterone, Vitamin D, T3/T4.
cGMP: ANP, NO (EDRF).
IP3: GnRH, GHRH, Oxytocin, ADH (V1 receptor), TRH, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, alpha1, histamine1.
Tyrosine Kinase: Insulin, IGF-1, FGF, PDGF, Prolactin, GH.

MAP-Kinase vs JAK/STAT Pathway:

Receptor: With intrinsic enzyme activity (receptor tyrosine kinase) Without intrinsic enzyme activity (tyrosine kinase associted receptor)
Structure: Extracellular domain | Transmembrane domain | Cytosolic domain Extracellular domain | Transmembrane domain | Cytosolic domain
Signaling Pathway: MAP-Kinase | Ras JAK/STAT
Examples: EFG, PDFG, FGF, growth factor receptors Receptor for cytokines, growth hormone, prolactin, IL-2
