The result of the interaction between a nonsteroid hormone and a target cell is the activation of second messenger systems that ultimately lead to a cellular response, such as an enzyme activation or a change in membrane permeability. It does not directly lead to the formation of a new protein. Protein synthesis usually occurs in response to long-term signaling or as a result of transcriptional regulation.
