Question

Most intracellular receptors are what type of protein?
A) DNA
B) Steroids
C) Enzymes
D) Neurotransmitters
E) Transcription factors

Accepted Answer

Most intracellular receptors are transcription factors. These proteins bind to specific DNA sequences and regulate the transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA. They often interact with hormones, steroids, or other signaling molecules that can cross the cell membrane and enter the cell to initiate this process.
