Abstract excerpt
The steroid receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors is characterized by marked conservation of both structure and function between the various receptors. Despite their well-documented extensive similarities, these receptors respond to a diverse range of ligands, which results in an even more impressive diversity of function. A variety of strategies is used at each point in the pathway from...
