Mammalian steroid hormones can be grouped into five groups by the receptors to which they bind: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, estrogens, and progestogens. Vitamin D derivatives are a sixth closely related hormone system with homologous receptors. They have some of the characteristics of true steroids as receptor ligands. For example, is an important estrogen steroid hormone in both women and men. It is a typical steroid with core four-ring system (ABCD), composed of 17 carbon atoms. Corticosteroids Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones. Two main classes of corticosteroids, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, are involved in a wide range of physiological processes. and its derivatives have some mineralocorticoid action in addition to the glucocorticoid effect.

Heat shock factor (HSF) are transcriptional activators of heat shock genes. HSF bind to heat shock sequence elements throughout the genome with a consensus array of three oppositely oriented sequence AGGAN and activate transcription. Each HSF monomer contains one C-terminal and 3 N-terminal leucine zippers. Two sequences flanking the N-terminal leucine zippers contain the consensus nuclear localization signal (NLS). The DNA-binding domain (DBD residues 193-281) of HSF lies in the N-terminal of the first NLS region. Depletion of HSF-1 is associated with accumulation of pathogenic androgen receptor in neurodegenerative diseases.

Vitamin D derivatives; secosteroids (open-ring steroids) . (5ien) Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D pro-hormone. Vitamin D receptor (also called calcitriol receptor) is a transcription factor. Upon binding to vitamin D, VDR forms a heterodimer with retinoid-X receptor and binds to hormone response receptors on DNA causing gene expression. The (green) binds to receptors in its target cells, controlling the synthesis of many different proteins involved in Ca transport and utilization. . . VDR contains 2 domains: a , that binds to the hormone (grey) and that binds to DNA (green and blue are 2 same VDR structures). It pairs up with a similar protein, 9-cis retinoic acid receptor (RXR), and together they bind to the DNA, activating synthesis in some cases and repressing it in others. When is mutated it is replaced with a which results in an inhibition of transcriptional activation. When transcription is inhibited it results in p53 accumulation, which activates and promotes p53 translocation into mitochondria leading to apoptosis. is replaced with when mutated creating a negative charge. The negative charge at the residue inhibits DNA binding which cause a downregulation of VDR activity. VDR needs DNA binding in order for it to be activated which is only possible with a serine residue. The vitamin D nuclear receptor is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that controls multiple biological responses such as cell proliferation, immune responses, and bone mineralization.
