-
The hormone is freed from the carrier protein and
enters the cell.
-
It binds to its receptor in the cytoplasm..
-
The cytoplasmic receptor carries the hormone tothe
nucleus, where it is released and passes through the nuclear membrane.

In the nucleus, it binds to a second receptor and
the hormone receptor complex binds to promoter areas on the genes
of interest.
-
The cell begins to produce the appropriate gene products.
