The nuclear localization of most steroid hormone receptors reflects a
dynamic process: the receptor constantly diffuses out of the nucleus a
nd is reimported by an active mechanism. The outward movement from the
nucleus of the receptors and of other nuclear proteins is also mediat
ed by the nuclear localization signals.
