  • Glucocorticoids Receptors
  • Receptor, Glucocorticoid
  • Receptor, Glucocorticoids
  • Receptors, Glucocorticoids

Note

  • coord IM with specific glucocorticoid (IM)

Scope note

  • Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind glucocorticoids and mediate their cellular effects. The glucocorticoid receptor-glucocorticoid complex acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of DNA. Glucocorticoids were named for their actions on blood glucose concentration, but they have equally important effects on protein and fat metabolism. Cortisol is the most important example.

History note
