Steroid receptors are known as ligand-regulated transcription factors, but more and more evidence indicates that several steroid receptors can be activated in the absence of cognate hormone by agents that fall into three separate groups: peptide growth factors, the neurotransmitter dopamine and other agents that activate cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, and the cyclins A and D1.
类固醇受体被认为是配体调节的转录因子，但越来越多的证据表明，几种类固醇受体在没有同源激素的情况下可被分为三组的物质激活：肽生长因子、神经递质多巴胺以及其他激活环磷酸腺苷（cAMP）依赖性蛋白激酶A的物质，还有细胞周期蛋白A和D1。
