Genes govern the production of hormones, and of hormone receptors and other components essential for their synthesis, transport and removal.

基因控制着激素的产生，以及激素受体和其他对其合成、运输和去除至关重要的成分的产生。

Just like healthy alveolar cells, some breast cancer cells have hormone receptors that allow them to grow in the presence of the hormones.

就像健康的腺泡细胞一样，一些乳腺癌细胞也有激素受体，会使它们在激素作用下生长。

Hormone therapy is used when tumor cells have hormone receptors like estrogen and HER2, and may include medications which block the formation or effects of estrogen.

当肿瘤细胞有雌激素和HER-2受体等激素受体时，可采用激素治疗，包括阻止雌激素生成和起效的药物。

Related to this is pseudohyporparathyroidism, which is where the kidneys simply don't respond to parathyroid hormone because of a genetic defect in the parathyroid hormone receptor.

与此相关的是伪甲状旁腺功能减退症，也就是由于甲状旁腺激素受体的基因缺陷，肾脏不对甲状旁腺激素作出反应。
