cAMP and phospholipase are more closely associated with the action of water-soluble hormones than with the action of lipid-soluble hormones.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) and phospholipase are second messengers that are involved in the signaling pathways of water-soluble hormones, which bind to receptors on the cell surface and activate these downstream signaling molecules. In contrast, lipid-soluble hormones can diffuse through the cell membrane and bind to intracellular receptors, leading to direct changes in gene expression. Therefore, cAMP and phospholipase are more closely associated with water-soluble hormones.
