Membrane steroid receptor

Membrane steroid receptors (mSRs), also called extranuclear steroid receptors, are a class of cell surface receptors activated by endogenous steroids. that bind and are and mediate rapid, non-genomic signaling via modulation of intracellular signaling cascades.

Steroid hormone receptors can produce slow genomic responses or the rapid, non-genomic response in the case of mSRs. They are another means besides classical nuclear steroid hormone receptors for steroids mediate their biological effects.

Known groups of mSRs include:
