What is the difference between a hormone and a secondary messenger?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The primary effector creates a signal that can diffuse within the cell. This signal is called the "secondary messenger." (The neurotransmitter is the first messenger.) The secondary messenger may then activate a "secondary effector" whose effects depend on the particular secondary messenger system.

What is the combination of endocrine gland and hormone?
The combination of an endocrine gland and a hormone is a working endocrine gland that has a chemical messenger called a hormone. The hormone can be either manufactured by that gland itself, a stored hormone that another gland made, or it can be a positive or negative feedback hormone as part of the hormonal control system.
What type of hormone characteristically requires a second messenger?
First messengers may not physically cross the phospholipid bilayer cell membrane to initiate changes within the cell directly and so require a secondary messenger. Second messengers may be coupled downstream to multi-cyclic kinase cascades to greatly amplify the strength of the original first messenger signal.Calcium ions are one type of second messengers and are responsible for many important physiological functions including muscle contraction, fertilization and neurotransmitter release.cAMP is also a second messenger.First messengers may not physically cross the phospholipid bilayer cell membrane to initiate changes within the cell directly and so require a secondary messenger.
Why is cyclic AMP a secondary messenger?
because original message is carried by hormone, which cant act directly, so in turn it activates cyclic AMP.
