Steroid Hormones, Such as Glucocorticoids, Bind to Receptors Inside the Cell

Multiple Choice

Steroid hormones, such as glucocorticoids, bind to receptors inside the cell. The hormone-receptor complex is transported into the nucleus, where it can directly affect gene expression. To get from the location where the receptor binds the hormone to its site of action:

A) the receptor-hormone dimer must dissociate to form a monomer.
B) the receptor-hormone complex must become water soluble by binding to a carrier molecule.
C) the receptor-hormone complex must be transported through the nuclear pore complex.
D) the receptor-hormone complex must be activated by a signaling cascade.
