Title: Steroid hormone testosterone Post by: ppk on Dec 27, 2010 The steroid hormone testosterone controls almost all aspects of male development in mammals. We know there is only a single type of testosterone receptor in all the cells that respond to it, because mutant XY individuals who lack the receptor are completely feminized in all the testosterone-controlled tissues. However, testosterone clearly activates different genes in different cell types (e.g. muscle, gonadal tissues, etc.). Briefly explain how this is possible.
