Abstract
It is well known that steroid hormones, certain vitamins and sterols, enter target cells and bind to specific protein receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus (1–4). This binding is saturable, high affinity, and steroid specific. Once bound by the steroid, the receptor undergoes chemical/conformation change, termed “activation,” which enables the receptor (as a complex with the steroid) to bind to nuclear acceptor sites on the nuclear chromatin (5,6) or nuclear matrix (7,8). It is generally accepted that the binding of the steroid receptor complex to these nuclear acceptor sites is a prerequisite for the steroid regulation of gene transcription and possibly post-transcriptional events.
