What is a hormone receptor?

1. Hormone Receptors are cellular proteins that bind with high affinity to hormones & are altered in shape & function by binding; they exist in limited numbers.

2. Binding to hormone is non-covalent & reversible.

3. Hormone binding will alter binding to other cellular proteins & may activate any receptor protein enzyme actions.
