Glucocorticoids enhance the expression of specific genes by binding to glucocorticoid receptors, resulting in which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucocorticoids bind to glucocorticoid receptors, and the receptor-steroid complex then translocates to the nucleus where it binds to specific DNA sequences, enhancing the expression of certain genes.  Glucocorticoids are members of the steroid or thyroid family of molecules that function by binding to intracellular receptors. Upon ligand binding the steroid hormone receptors migrate to the nucleus where the DNA-binding domain in the receptor binds to specific sequences in target genes.
