Hi Guys!
I'm having trouble figuring out this question. I thought it was B but now Im not sure...any help would be appreciated!
Testosterone is converted to estradiol via aromatase, a member of the CYP450 family of enzymes. Estradiol receptors fall into two classes: ER (further divided into ERa and ERb) and G protein-coupled receptors (GPR30). Where are these receptors most likely to be located?
A. ERa and ERb are likely to be embedded in the cell membrane, and GPR30 is likely to be dissolved in the cytosol.
B. ERa and ERb are likely to be dissolved in the cytosol, and GPR30 is likely to be found embedded in the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope.
C. ERa and ERb and GPR30 are all likely to be found dissolved in the cytosol.
D. ERa and ERb and GPR30 are all likely to be found embedded in the cell membrane.
