Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After a steroid hormone binds to its receptor to form an active complex, gene transcription is initiated, leading to changes in protein production and cellular function. Steroid hormones act as transcription factors, binding to specific DNA sequences and influencing the expression of genes. The other choices listed are more commonly associated with the actions of peptide hormones, which do not directly affect gene expression.
