Question

The receptors for non-steroid peptide hormones are on the:

• A. Plasma membrane
• B. Nuclear envelope
• C. DNA receptor complex
• D. Peptide chain

Answer 1

The correct option is A Plasma membrane

Types of hormones receptors-

1. Membrane-bound receptors

2. Intracellular receptors

• Hormone receptors present on the cell membrane are called membrane-bound receptors, non-steroid peptide type of hormone attach to them and form a hormone-receptor complex that leads to further reaction and effects.

Non-steroid peptide hormones-

• Insulin
• Glucagon
• Hypothalamic hormones
• pituitary hormones.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
