Front Describe how steroid hormones work. + example hormone

  • Lipid soluble - pass through phospholipid bilayer 
  • Bind to steroid hormone receptors in cytoplasm or nucleus, forming hormone-receptor complex
  • HR complex acts as transcription factor which facilitates or inhibits transcription of a specific gene
  • Example - oestrogen
