Membrane receptors for steroid hormones : pursuing the identity of a membrane glucocorticoid receptor in an amphibian brain

Creator:

Evans, Simon J.

Abstract:

In addition to the well-characterized genomic mechanism of steroid action that uses intracellular receptors, steroid hormones also signal through nongenomic processes that use membrane receptors. A membrane receptor for corticosterone (CORT) has been described in brains of the roughskin newt (Taricha granulosa). This receptor is believed to be a G-protein...
