Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, Nuclear hormone receptors is also responsible for binding hormones due to presence of Ligands. Ligands bind to and activate nuclear receptors such as lipophilic substances such as endogenous hormones, vitamins A and D, and xenobiotic endocrine disruptors. The first role of Nuclear hormone receptors are the control of gene expression by directly binding to DNA and its second role is binding of hormones.
