What would happen if a peptide hormone receptor was expressed in the nucleus like a steroid hormone

receptor? What will be an ideal response?


The hormone would not be able to induce function on that cell. Unlike steroid hormones, peptide
hormones cannot cross the cell membrane. As a result, the hormone would not be able to bind its
receptor.
