All Members of the Nuclear Receptor Family

Question

All members of the nuclear receptor family
A)are cell-surface receptors.
B)do not undergo conformational changes.
C)are found only in the cytoplasm.
D)interact with signal molecules that diffuse through the plasma membrane.

Accepted Answer

Members of the nuclear receptor family interact with signal molecules that diffuse through the plasma membrane, and they act as transcription factors by binding to DNA and regulating gene expression. They are not cell-surface receptors, undergo conformational changes, and can be found in both the cytoplasm and nucleus.
