The steroids then pass through the cell membrane and bind directly to protein receptors, which act as dimers in the nuclei of target cells to influence the transcription rate of responsive genes. The cell- and tissue-specific effects of steroid hormones have been observed for many years, but ...
progestins, androgens), adrenal cortical hormones (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids), vitamin D, and insect hormones (ecdysteroids). As discussed in Sect. 3.1, these agents combine with intracellular receptor proteins, converting them to functional transcription factors, ...
23.6.1 Steroid receptors Steroid hormones perform many functions in cells, one of which is to activate gene expression by binding to steroid receptors, proteins in the cytoplasm that, when activated, act as transcription factors that initiate transcription. All steroid hormones are derived from cho...
Alternatively, some steroid hormones bind to nuclear receptors [44]. The nuclear steroid hormone–receptor complex then binds to specific DNA sequences, inducing transcription of its target genes. This instigates slow-acting genomic responses. In either case, the hormone–receptor complexes cause ...
To answer the question, we need to identify where steroid hormones and protein hormones bind and what they promote.1. Identify the type of receptors for steroid hormones: - Steroid hormones are lipophilic (fat-soluble) molec
Answer to: Where are receptors for steroid hormones found? A. On the cell surface. B. Coupled to G-proteins. C. In the cytoplasm. D. Embedded in...
Read the following statements and select the correct option. Statement A : Only steroid hormones are able to cross the cell membrane and act via intracellular receptors. Statement B : Steroid hormones stimulate regulatory genes present on the chromosomes and thus regulate gene expression ...

These results provide a new morphological proof that sex steroid hormones participate in the regulation of gonadal development and functional maturation of reproductive endocrine control axis in Amphioxus. 展开 关键词: Amphioxus(Branchiostoma belcheri Steroid hormones Receptors Immunocytochemistry Gonads Nervous...
[Receptor mechanisms of action of sex hormones. Can the receptor work without a ligand?] Among endocrinologists, it is generally accepted that most of the effects of steroid hormones are transmitted to the cell through their receptors located o......
