Characteristics of the processes by which steroid and thyroid hormones enter tissues, cells and membrane vesicles are reviewed. Several authors suggest that entry is by passive diffusion: the accumulation within cells is attributed to cytoplasmic binding proteins. Other authors, however, propose a membrane-mediated process of entry. The involvement of saturability, high specificity, sensitivity to temperature, sulfhydryl and cell-surface-perturbing reagents and hydrolytic enzymes support the latter view. Purified plasma-membrane vesicle preparations retain several characteristics of entry shown by intact cells. Intracellular hormone-binding protein would not contribute to processes observed with these preparations.
