Thyroxine
-T4, contains 4 iodine atoms, most abundant. -Thyroid Gland -In blood stream its bonded to a carrier protein 
Flip
Thyroid H Family Action 
1. Enters blood bonded to TBG 2. Weak bond that breaks free and diffuses across plasma. T4 is converted to t3  3. Enters nucleus via binding protein translocate 4. Thyroid hormone nucleur receptors all ready bonded to HRE, correpresor protons bonded to it when thyroxine is absent repressing transcript 5. T3 Binds to ligand bonding domain of RXR + TR and get Heterodimer= 6. Genomic Action are transcribed mRNA= Hormon
Flip

Flip
What are the components of an inactive RXR receptor? How is it activated?
-RXR bound to DNA, w/ corepressor bound to inhibit transcription -ligand binding activates receptor, causing the release of the corepressor and binding of a coactivator (starts transcription)

Genomic effects of steroid hormones
Steroid binds to nuclear receptor and then translocates to DNA and changes what genes are on and off and activates genes
Flip

Flip
hormone classification
peptide: Preprohormone (large, inactive), Prohormone (post translationam mod), peptide hormone receptor complex steroid: lipphilic and can enter cell.
