Correct Answer

Explanation

Adenylate cyclase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the formation of the hormone receptor complex. When a hormone binds to its receptor on the cell surface, it activates the G-protein which in turn stimulates the adenylate cyclase enzyme to produce cyclic AMP (cAMP). This cAMP molecule acts as a second messenger and activates protein kinase A (PKA) which ultimately leads to the formation of the hormone receptor complex. The hormone receptor complex is responsible for carrying out various cellular functions, including gene transcription and protein synthesis.
