Steroid-Protein Interactions Revisited

摘要: There are two types of association complexes between steroid hormones and proteins. One group proteins bind the steroids in such a way that their biological activity is suppressed; only free, unbound form hormone active. These binders represented by steroid-binding serum as best known examples. The second kind protein found in, or possibly on, target cells for hormones; they called receptor They have opposite effect on potency: mediate hormonal action. binding to necessary step manifestation effects.
