Importins involved in the nuclear transportation of steroid hormone receptors: In silico and in vitro data

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The nuclear receptor superfamily (NRS) consists of 48 receptors for lipophilic substances and is divided into 7 different subfamilies, with subfamily 3 comprising steroid hormone receptors.

G protein-coupled receptors function as cell membrane receptors for the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2020
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell membrane receptors for various ligands. Recent studies have suggested that GPCRs transmit animal steroid hormone signals.

Modulatory Effects of Sex Steroids Progesterone and Estradiol on Odorant Evoked Responses in Olfactory Receptor Neurons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The influence of the sex steroid hormones progesterone and estradiol on physiology and behavior during menstrual cycles and pregnancy is well known. Several studies indicate that olfactory performance changes with cyclically fluctuating steroid hormone ...

Modulation of Xenobiotic Receptors by Steroids

Molecules, 2013
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate the expression of their target genes. NRs play important roles in many human diseases, including metabolic diseases and cancer, and are therefore a key class of therapeutic ...

Sex Steroid Receptors in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Endometriosis: Insights from Laboratory Studies to Clinical Trials

Biomedicines, 2022
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis are reproductive disorders that may cause infertility. The pathology of both diseases has been suggested to be associated with sex steroid hormone receptors, including oestrogen receptors (ER ...

Independent elaboration of steroid hormone signaling pathways in Metazoans [PDF]

, 2009
Steroid hormones regulate many physiological processes in vertebrates, nematodes and arthropods through binding to nuclear receptors (NR), a metazoan-specific family of ligand-activated transcription factors.

Mutual Shaping of Circadian Body-Wide Synchronization by the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus and Circulating Steroids

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
BackgroundSteroids are lipid hormones that reach bodily tissues through the systemic circulation, and play a major role in reproduction, metabolism, and homeostasis. All of these functions and steroids themselves are under the regulation of the circadian
