Abstract
Steroid hormones may possess two distinct actions, a delayed genomic influence and the rapid nongenomic effects, which may act in concert. Nongenomic effect may be mediated by putative membrane receptors or due to allosteric interactions of steroids with membrane proteins (e.g. ionic channels), inducing rapid changes in protein/receptor/channel activation or inhibition.Entities:
