State
A lipid-soluble hormone bound to its intracellular receptor acts as a transcription regulator, increasing or decreasing synthesis of specific mRNA molecules and, in turn, specific proteins.
Show
A steroid hormone-receptor complex binds a hormone response element on DNA, triggering transcription of a target gene.
Watch for
This mechanism changes cell function by altering what proteins get made, not by acting on existing proteins directly.
