Glucocorticoid receptor regulation
Life Sciences, 1985Glucocorticoids, like other classes of steroid hormones, must bind to cellular receptors in order to exert their effects. Because of this central role in mediating hormone action, it is important to elucidate those factors that control receptor content.

The human glucocorticoid receptor
2023Glucocorticoids are members of steroid hormones that are biosynthesized in the intermediate cellular zone of the adrenal cortex (zona fasciculata) and released into the peripheral blood as final products of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, as well as under the control of the circadian biologic system.

Selective Glucocorticoid Receptor Ligands
Medicinal Chemistry, 2007Glucocorticoids are four-ring steroid compounds that regulate a wide range of physiological systems ranging from embryonic respiratory development, immune function and responses to acute or chronic stress. Glucocorticoids are taken up by many target cells where they bind and activate cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors (GRs), which then dimerize ...

Chaperoning of Glucocorticoid Receptors
2005A multiprotein hsp90/hsp70-based chaperone machinery functions as a 'cradle-to-grave' system for regulating the steroid binding, trafficking and turnover of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). In an ATP-dependent process where hsp70 and hsp90 act as essential chaperones and Hop, hsp40, and p23 act as nonessential co-chaperones, the machinery assembles ...

Genetics of glucocorticoid receptors
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1986The lymphocytolytic effect of glucocorticoids has been used for isolating receptor mutants. They fall into several groups with defects either in the hormone binding domain or the DNA binding domain or with part of the receptor polypeptide missing. These truncated receptors have increased binding affinity for general DNA and are synthesized from 5 ...

Selective Glucocorticoid Receptor modulators
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2010The ancient two-faced Roman god Janus is often used as a metaphor to describe the characteristics of the Glucocorticoid Receptor (NR3C1), which exhibits both a beneficial side, that serves to halt inflammation, and a detrimental side responsible for undesirable effects. However, recent developments suggest that the Glucocorticoid Receptor has many more

Glucocorticoids are essential for life and play critical roles in many diverse physiological processes including metabolism, development, growth, inflammation, and apoptosis. Drugs that mimic the actions of glucocorticoids are widely used to treat diseases such as cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune disorders.
