Steroid Hormone Receptor
Steroid hormone receptors are proteins found in either the cytoplasm or nucleus of eukaryotic cells which bind to and regulate the transcription of DNA under the regulation of steroid hormones. These proteins are the first receptors assigned to the steroid/thyroid/retinoid nuclear receptor superfamily, a group of transcription factors whose activity is regulated by small lipid-soluble molecules.
