Transcribed Image Text:• How does the hormone get
from its secretory gland to its
target tissue?
• Are steroid hormones
hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
• How are steroid hormones
transported to target
tissues?
• When the steroid hormone
binds to the nuclear receptor
it dimerizes and binds to
HRES?
What are the HRES?
When the NR dimer binds to
HRES how does it effect gene
transcription?

Hormone, carried to the target tissue on
serum binding proteins, diffuses across the
plasma membrane and binds to its specific
receptor protein in the nucleus.
4
Hormone binding changes the conformation
of the receptor; it forms homo- or heterodimers
with other hormone-receptor
complexes and binds to specific regulatory
regions called hormone response elements
(HRES) in the DNA adjacent to specific genes.
3 Receptor attracts coactivator or corepressor
protein(s) and, with them, regulates
transcription of the adjacent gene(s), increasing
or decreasing the rate of mRNA formation.
Altered levels of the hormone-regulated gene
product produce the cellular response to the
hormone.
