Which of the following receptors is a nuclear receptor of the homo-dimeric family?
| a. |
Vitamin D receptor |
|
| b. |
Retinoic acid receptor |
|
| c. |
Glucocorticoid Receptor |
|
| d. |
Thyroid Hormone Receptor |
These all receptors are nuclear receptor but Glucocorticoid receptor is in homodimer family.
When Glucocorticoid binds to the receptor then the receptor become homodimer form. This homodimer then enter into the nucleus and gene expression occurs.
Which of the following receptors is a nuclear receptor of the homo-dimeric family? a. Vitamin D...
Which of the following is generally not true of receptors? Receptors are present in only finite amounts Receptors can be saturated Receptor affinity for its hormone can be either increased or decreased O Receptors amount (number) can be either up or down-regulated Endocytosis of a hormone-receptor complex is one form of desensitization O receptor inactivation hormone inactivation All of these choices are correct O how tolerance develops
