Intracellular steroid hormone receptors have binding sites for a signaling molecule and a DNA sequence
How is it that the same steroid hormone receptor, which binds to a specific DNA sequence, can regulate different genes in different cell types?
The specific genes regulated in response to an activated steroid hormone receptor depends not only on the genes having the appropriate DNA sequence for binding the receptor but also on a variety of other nuclear proteins that influence gene expression, some of which vary between different cell types.
