The Receptor Mechanism Used by Steroid Hormones Involves Stimulation Of

Question

The receptor mechanism used by steroid hormones involves stimulation of
A)actin-myosin synthesis.
B)phosphorylation mechanisms.
C)lipid synthesis.
D)carbohydrate hydrolysis.
E)protein synthesis.

Accepted Answer

Steroid hormones bind to intracellular receptors, which form hormone-receptor complexes that bind to DNA sequences in the nucleus and promote transcription of specific genes, leading to protein synthesis. Therefore, the receptor mechanism used by steroid hormones involves stimulation of protein synthesis.
