Answer:

As a transcription factor

Testosterone is a male sex hormone secreted by the testicles which promote the growth of the male reproductive organs and the male characters like muscle buildup.

The hormone shows the paracrine effect and thus act on the target cell at distant. The mechanism of action of the testosterone is that it controls the gene expression of various other genes.
