About 48 different soluble family members of nuclear receptors are identified that can be divided into two main classes:
Regulation of Metabolism
Cell Specific Gene Expression
Target Cell Response to Hormones
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...
