These receptors typically bind to molecules that can pass through the plasma membrane, such as gases like nitrous oxide and steroid hormones ... These intracellular signaling pathways, also ...

This review summarizes our current knowledge of membrane-associated steroid receptors, as well as details of structure–function relationships between steroid hormones and the ligand-binding ...

the binding of testosterone to plasma proteins limits the hormone available to enter cells and bind to intracellular receptors. It is not yet clear which subfraction or metabolite of testosterone ...
