cell * Peptide hormones bind to a receptor protein in the plasma membrane and activate a "second messenger" system. * Second messenger sets in motion an enzyme cascade that leads to a cellular response * The second messenger causes the cellular changes for which the hormone is credited. (the peptide hormone stays outside the cell and directs activities within) * Common second messengers found in many body cells include cyclic AMP and calcium. * Peptide hormone
