Study Notes
Group II Hormones
- Classified into 3 types based on secondary messengers
Type I: cAMP as Secondary Messenger
- Examples of hormones that use cAMP as their secondary messenger:
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Luteinizing hormone (LH)
- Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
- Calcitonin
- Glucagon
Type II: Phosphotidylinositol/Calcium or Both as Secondary Messengers
- Examples of hormones that use phosphotidylinositol/calcium or both as their secondary messengers:
- Acetylcholine
- Vasopressin
- Cholecystokinin
- Gastrin
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone
- Thyrotropin-releasing hormone
- Insulin
- Chorionic somatomammotropin
- Epidermal growth factors
- Fibroblast growth factors
- Growth hormone (GH)
