Hormone	Receptor	Functions	References
Estrogen	Estrogen Receptor-α (ER-α)	To form ligand-ER complex and controlling gene expression. To stimulate proliferation of breast cancer cells	[7]
	Integrin αvβ3	NA	[8]
DHT	Androgen Receptor (AR)	To form ligand-AR complex and controlling gene expression To stimulate proliferation of prostate cancer cells.	[9]
	Estrogen Receptor-α (ER-α)	To stimulate proliferation of ER-positive breast cancer cells	[7]
	Integrin αvβ3	To stimulate proliferation of ER-negative breast cancer cells	[10]
Thyroid hormone	Thyroid hormone Receptor-α (TR-α)	To stimulate cancer cell growth	[11]
	Thyroid hormone Receptor-β (TR-β)	To inhibit cancer cell growth, however, mutant TR-β may activate cancer cell growth	[12]
