- Steroids → Cytosolic receptors → Modify gene transcription
- Lipid soluble ligand + Receptor → Dimerisation → Translocation of ligand-receptor complex into nucleus → Specific binding of complex to promoter or enhancer elements of genes → Modulation of gene transcription.
- Receptor monomers
- Ligand-binding domain. Highly homologous domains.
- DNA binding. Transciption activation
- De novo gene transcription & protein synthesis
- Slow onset. Long lasting
