Regulation of transcription and translation. OESTROGEN

  1. Oestrogen is lipid soluble, so it can diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer easily. 
  2. Oestrogen binds to the receptor molecule on a transcription site.The are complimentary. 
  3. This binding changes the shape of the transcription factor, causing the inhibitor (of where the DNA goes) to detatch. 
  4. DNA can join with transcription factor, and transcription is stimulated.
