what makes up the steroid receptor familt?
- GR
- MR
- AR
- PR
what is GR?
glucocorticoid receptor ( blood glucose - stress)
what is AR?
androgen receptor (male sex; binds testosterone or dihydrotestosterone)
what is MR?
mineralocorticoids (sodium/potassium)
what is PR?
progesterone receptor (supports pregnancy/embryogenesis)
what makes up the thyroid receptor family?
- TR
- ER
- RAR
- RXR
- PPAR
- VDR
what is TR?
thyroid hormone receptor (development/metabolism/ heart rate)
what is ER?
estrogen receptor( female sex, a steroid but in thyroid fam)
what is RAR?
retinoic acid receptor (retinoids/ vision/cell cycle/immunity)
what is RXR?
retinoic X receptor (heterodimer w other receptors plus binds retinoids)
what is PPAR?
peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (development/metabolism)
what is VDR?
