Hormonal Regulation of Growth and Protein Synthesis

Nature volume 219, pages 331–337 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

Regulation of protein synthesis by growth and developmental hormones is built largely into newly formed ribosomes. A topographical segregation of polyribosomes by attachment to cytoplasmic membranes, which are generated in parallel with the additional ribosomes, may facilitate the synthesis of hormone-specific proteins.
