Abstract excerpt
The biological effects of hormones are mediated by plasma membrane receptors which transmit extracellular signals to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Mutations in plasma membrane receptors can affect normal signal transduction with loss-of-function mutations leading to hormone resistance and gain-of-function mutations leading to constitutive activation of signaling pathways. The loss-of-function mutations leading to...
