Steroid receptors are known as ligand-regulated transcription factors, but more and more
evidence indicates that several steroid receptors can be activated in the absence of cognate …

Although the primary signal for the activation of steroid hormone receptors is binding of
hormone, there is increasing evidence that the activities of cell signaling pathways and the …

Steroid/thyroid hormone receptors are ligand-dependent transcription factors that regulate
diverse aspects of growth, development, and homeostasis by binding as homodimers or …
