part_of part of part of steroid hormone receptor activity Some steroid hormone receptors reside in the plasma membrane and signal through second messengers or other intracellular signal transduction pathways. For steroid hormone receptors that act in the nucleus to regulate transcription, consider also annotating to the terms: nuclear receptor activity ; GO:0004879' or nuclear receptor transcription coactivator activity ; GO:0030374'.
