Question

The same peptide hormone will show variation in response to different cells because, different target cells have different sets of genes, a target cells' response is determined by the components of its signal transduction pathways, the circulatory system regulates response to hormone by routing the hormone to specific targets, the hormone is chemically altered in different ways as it travels through the circulatory system

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Hormone is a chemical messenger which starts a cascade of cellular reaction once it reaches the target site. The same hormone can have different effect on different target site due to the variation in the cell signaling system. Once the hormone binds to the target cell, it starts a cell signaling pathway which alters in different target cell giving us different response. Example is epinephrine
