<P> Steroid hormone receptors are found in the nucleus , cytosol , and also on the plasma membrane of target cells . They are generally intracellular receptors ( typically cytoplasmic or nuclear ) and initiate signal transduction for steroid hormones which lead to changes in gene expression over a time period of hours to days . The best studied steroid hormone receptors are members of the nuclear receptor subfamily 3 ( NR3 ) that include receptors for estrogen ( group NR3A ) and 3 - ketosteroids ( group NR3C ) . In addition to nuclear receptors , several G protein - coupled receptors and ion channels act as cell surface receptors for certain steroid hormones . </P>
