which changes its shape (induced-fit mechanism) and activates it.
# Activation: the intracellular receptor moves to the nucleus if it wasn't already in the nucleus.
# DNA binding: the activated intracellular receptor binds to a specific part of the DNA called a hormone response element (HRE).
# Gene regulation: the intracellular receptor either turns on or turns off the target gene which affects the production of proteins that control bodily processes
