Hormone-receptor complex is formed at

Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C FSH
Hormones produce their effects on target tissues by binding to specific proteins called hormone receptors located in the target tissues. Hormone receptors present on the cell membrane of the target cells are called membrane-bound receptors and the receptors present inside the target cell are called intracellular receptors, mostly nuclear receptors (present in the nucleus).
Peptide, polypeptide, protein hormones like insulin, glucagon, FSH, etc. interact with membrane-bound receptors, normally do not enter the target cell. Whereas steroid hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, etc. interact with intracellular receptors, mostly regulate gene expression or chromosome function by the interaction of hormone-receptor complex with the genome.
