Stimulating A Gene

Question 1

Mechanism of lipophillic

Answer 1

Hormone diffuses through plasma and nuclear membrane of its target cell and binds to with the nuclear receptors specific for it.
Hormone receptor complex (HRC) in turn binds with hormone response element(HRE) which is a segment of DNA, Specific for hormone receptor complex.
DNA binding activates specific genes —> produces complementary mRNA
mRNA leaves nucleus
mRNA makes protein—> physiological response
