Upon binding to a receptor to form a hormone-receptor complex,steroid hormones may cause:
A)the activation of adenylate cyclase.
B)an increase in protein synthesis.
C)the activation of protein kinases.
D)the formation of cAMP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steroid hormones typically enter cells and bind to receptors located in the cytoplasm or nucleus, forming a hormone-receptor complex. This complex can then bind to DNA and activate or repress specific genes, ultimately leading to an increase in protein synthesis. Steroid hormones do not activate adenylate cyclase, protein kinases, or form cAMP.
