In today's article we are going to talk about Membrane steroid receptor , a topic that you have probably heard about, but that you may not know all the details about. Membrane steroid receptor is a topic that has aroused great interest in recent times, since its relevance and impact covers different areas. This is a topic that has been present throughout history, but is currently taking on special importance due to various factors. Throughout this article, we are going to delve into Membrane steroid receptor to better understand its meaning, its impact and its relevance in today's society. Read on to find out everything you need to know about Membrane steroid receptor !
Membrane steroid receptors (mSRs ), also called extranuclear steroid receptors , are a class of cell surface receptors activated by endogenous steroids that mediate rapid, non-genomic signaling via modulation of intracellular signaling cascades .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] mSRs are another means besides classical nuclear steroid hormone receptors (SHRs) for steroids to mediate their biological effects .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] SHRs can produce slow genomic responses or rapid, non-genomic responses in the case of mSRs.[ 5]
List of membrane steroid receptors
Known groups of mSRs, by ligand, include:[ a]
Membrane sex steroid receptors
Membrane androgen receptors (mARs) – GPRC6A , OXER1 , ZIP9 ; TRPM8 ;[ 6] Cav1.2 ,[ 6] GPR133 [ 7]
Membrane estrogen receptors (mERs) – GPER , ER-X , ERx , Gq -mER ; Nav1.2 ;[ 6] palmitoylated nuclear receptors[ 6]
Membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) – PAQRs (mPRα , mPRβ , mPRγ , mPRδ , mPRϵ ); PGRMC1 , PGRMC2 ;[ 6]
Membrane corticosteroid receptors
In addition, PDIA3 is a membrane receptor for the secosteroid calcitriol , the activated form of Vitamin D .[ 8]
