p23/PTGES3: Proteins and Enzymes

Steroid receptors are ligand-dependent intracellular proteins that stimulate transcription of specific genes by binding to specific DNA sequences following activation by the appropriate hormone. Prior to activation, steroid receptors associate with a number of different proteins in both a stable and transient fashion. Steroid receptor complex proteins include heat shock proteins (HSP 70 and HSP 90), immunosuppressant binding proteins called immunophilins (the FK 506 binding proteins, FKBP 52 & ...
