Steroid hormones are lipid-soluble and can diffuse across the plasma membrane of their target cells. Once inside the cell, they bind to specific receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus. The hormone-receptor complex then binds to specific DNA sequences in the nucleus, activating or repressing the transcription of specific genes.
