Hormone (testosterone) EXTRACELLULAR FLUID The steroid hormone testosterone passes through the plasma membrane. Plasma membrane Testosterone binds to a receptor protein in the cytoplasm, activating it. Receptor protein Hormone- receptor complex The hormone- receptor complex enters the nucleus and binds to specific genes. DNA The bound protein stimulates the transcription of the gene into mRNA. mRNA NUCLEUS New protein The mRNA is translated into a specific protein.

The JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Upon binding ligand, receptor-associated JAKs become activated and mediate phosphorylation of specific receptor tyrosine residues. This leads to the recruitment of specific STATs, which are then also tyrosine-phosphorylated. Activated STATs are released from the receptor, dimerize, translocate to the nucleus, and bind to members of the g-activated site (GAS) family of enhancers. http://www.genome.jp/kegg/pathway/hsa/hsa04630.html J Clin Invest, May 2002, Volume 109, Number 9, 1133-1137
