Typically, when steroid hormones bind to their receptors,
A) adenylyl cyclase is activated.

C) G proteins are inhibited.
D) gene transcription may increase or decrease.
E) protein kinases are activated.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When steroid hormones bind to their receptors, they enter the cell nucleus and directly affect gene transcription. This can lead to an increase or decrease in the production of specific proteins. There is no activation of adenylyl cyclase, formation of cyclic nucleotides, inhibition of G proteins, or activation of protein kinases involved in this process.
