| steroid finger motif | Family of nuclear transcription factors, most of which are receptors for hormones of the steroid family, for example androgen, oestrogen, glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, progesterone, retinoic acid, ecdysone, thyroid hormone and the Drosophila transcription factors knirps, ultraspiracle and seven up. This family contains a conserved domain (the steroid finger motif) containing two C4 type zinc fingers. (18 Nov 1997) |
| steroid hormone | <endocrinology> A group of structurally related hormones, based on the cholesterol molecule. They control sex and growth characteristics, are highly lipophilic and are unique in that their receptors are in the nucleus, rather than on the plasma membrane. Examples: testosterone, oestrogen.
