nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 (glucocorticoid receptor); Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). Has a dual mode of action- as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) and as a 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. Plays a significant [...] (778 aa)
