G Protein-Coupled Receptors: Extranuclear Mediators for the Non-Genomic Actions of Steroids

Steroids hormones possess two distinct actions, a delayed genomic effect and a rapid non-genomic effect. Rapid steroid-triggered signaling is mediated by specific receptors localized most often to the plasma membrane. The nature of these receptors is of great interest and accumulated data suggest t...
