| Description | RecName: Glucocorticoid receptor;GR;Alternative Name: Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1; |
| Source organism | Saimiri sciureus (Common squirrel monkey) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini;Platyrrhini; Cebidae; Saimiriinae; Saimiri. |
| Subcellular location | Cytoplasm (By similarity). Nucleus (By similarity). Note=Cytoplasmic in the absence of ligand, nuclear after ligand-binding (By similarity) |
| Developmental Stage | N/A |
| Similarity | Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR3 subfamily. Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in brain. Regions of high expression include CA1 and CA2 of hippocampus, dentate gyrus, paraventricular hypothalamus, lateral geniculate, lateral-medial amygdala, and cerebellum. In the cerebral cortex, laminar patterns of expression were apparent in all cortical layers, particularly the pyramidal cell-rich layers II/III and V. |
| Post translational modification | Increased proteasome-mediated degradation in response to glucocorticoids (By similarity). Phosphorylated in the absence of hormone; becomes hyperphosphorylated in the presence of glucocorticoids (By similarity). Ubiquitinated; restricts glucocorticoid-mediated transcriptional signaling (By similarity). Sumoylated; this reduces transcription transactivation (By similarity). |
| Function | Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) and as modulator of other transcription factors. Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Could act as a coactivator for STAT5-dependent transcription upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation and could reveal an essential role of hepatic GR in the control of body growth. Involved in chromatin remodeling (By similarity). Plays a significant role in transactivation. Involved in nuclear translocation. |
