Mechanism of Hormone Action

Question

How does steroid hormone influence the cellular activities?

Moderate

A

Using aquaporin channels 'as second messenger'
B

Changing the permeability of the cell membrane
C

Binding to DNA and forming a gene-hormone complex
D

Activating cyclic AMP located on the cell membrane

Solution

Steroid hormones are lipid soluble. They diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane and bind to intracellular receptors (cytoplasmic or nuclear receptors). The hormone-receptor complex then binds to DNA and influences gene expression.
