"As well as being important physiologically, steroid-responsive systems have been widely used as models for studying eukaryotic gene structure, action, and regulation. This volume is a comprehensive description of the molecular mechanisms by which steroid hormones regulate the expression of specific target genes. Topics covered in detail include the structure of steroid receptors, transcriptional activation and repression, steroid binding proteins, and steroidogenesis." "Steroid Hormone Action is an up-to-date text, written by international experts, which brings together the most important recent advances in this field. It is a superb guide for molecular biologists, pharmacologists, and clinicians interested in gene regulation, hormones and steroid antagonists, and endocrine-related disorders."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
