The glucocorticoid receptor resource [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1996 The glucocorticoid receptor resource focuses on the structure-function relationships of the glucocorticoid receptor. As well as links to sequence and bibliographic databases via the World Wide Web, the database contains sequence comparisons of receptors from different species and source information for glucocorticoid receptor clones, probes, cell lines

Glucocorticoid receptor activation by long acting steroids and its modification by inflammation [PDF]
, 2007 s: Glucocorticoids have an effective anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and immunomodulatory activity. Therefore this class of drugs is used worldwide for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and to prevent rejection following organ transplantation.

Cooperativity of Glucocorticoid Response Elements Located Far Upstream of the Tyrosine Aminotransferase Gene [PDF]
, 1987 Two glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) located 2.5 kb upstream of the transcription initiation site of the tyrosine aminotransferase gene were identified by gene transfer experiments and shown to bind to purified glucocorticoid receptor.

Glucocorticoid exposure in late gestation permanently programs rat hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucocorticoid receptor expression and causes glucose intolerance in adult offspring [PDF]
, 1998 Low birth weight in humans is predictive of insulin resistance and diabetes in adult life. The molecular mechanisms underlying this link are unknown but fetal exposure to excess glucocorticoids has been implicated, The fetus is normally protected from ...

Phenotypic characteristics of familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) type 1 and 2 [PDF]
, 2010 Context: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder as a result of mutation in genes encoding either the ACTH receptor [melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R)] or its accessory protein [melanocortin 2 receptor accessory ...
