Question

What is steroid hormone action?? Pls answer fast friends it's urgent

Answer 1

Steroid hormones help control metabolism, inflammation, immune function, salt and water balance, development of sexual characteristics, and the ability to withstand illness and injury.

Answer 2

Receptors for steroid and thyroid hormones are located inside target cells, in the cytoplasm or nucleus, and function as ligand-dependent transcription factors. That is to say, the hormone-receptor complex binds to promoter regions of responsive genes and stimulate or sometimes inhibit transcription from those genes.
Thus, the mechanism of action of steroid hormones is to modulate gene expression in target cells. By selectively affecting transcription from a battery of genes, the concentration of those respective proteins are altered, which clearly can change the phenotype of the cell.
