Where are receptors for steroid hormones located in a cell?

Unlike many other receptors that are embedded in the cell membrane to receive signals from the exterior, receptors for steroid hormones are located inside the cell.12

Because steroid hormones are capable of permeating the cell membrane, their receptors are found within the intracellular environment. Specifically, these receptors are often described as being located in the cytoplasm or the nucleus. Upon binding with a steroid hormone, the receptor complex typically interacts directly with DNA within the nucleus to regulate gene expression and protein biosynthesis.312
