Intracellular structure of a typical endocrine cell. The process of protein hormone synthesis begins when a hormone or an active metabolite stimulates a receptor in the cell membrane. This leads to the activation of specific molecules of DNA in the nucleus and the formation of a prohormone. The prohormone is transported through the endoplasmic reticulum, is packaged into secretory vesicles in the Golgi apparatus, and is ultimately secreted from the cell in its active, hormone form.
