Glucocorticoid Receptors

1979
Glucocorticoid receptors are found in most mammalian tissues and have been studied in detail in a number of tissue culture systems. With cells that have not been exposed to steroids, the receptors are found in the cytoplasmic fraction from which they can be isolated and studied.

Glucocorticoid receptors

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1992
Glucocorticoid hormones are secreted uniquely from the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex, with marked circadian variation in basal levels and acute elevation in response to stress. Glucocorticoid receptors are almost ubiquitously distributed, and mediate a wide range of tissue-specific responses; in addition to classical, [3H]dexamethasone-binding

Glucocorticoid receptor physiology

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2007
Glucocorticoid action in cells is mediated by a specific receptor protein, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). GR is a member of a superfamily of ligand-inducible transcription factors that control a variety of physiological functions; such as, metabolism, development, and reproduction.

Role of glucocorticoids and glucocorticoid receptor in priming of macrophages caused by glucocorticoid receptor blockade

Endocrine, 2007
We previously reported that glucocorticoid receptor (GR) blockade (injected with GR antagonist RU486) primed the host responses to lipopolysaccharide. Since decrease of GR and elevated glucocorticoids (GCs) have been always reported as parallel responses, we hypothesize that both GCs and GR play important roles in GR blockade induced priming.

The structure of glucocorticoid receptors

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1993
The glucocorticoid receptor of mouse thymic lymphoma cells was investigated. The receptor-hormone complex in cytosolic extracts has a Stokes' radius of 82 A and Mw approximately 330 kDa. In the presence of salt at high concentrations, however, the receptor-complex has a Stokes' radius of 60 A and Mw approximately 120 kDa.

Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonists

Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2008
This review covers recent progress in the discovery of selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonists. Potential therapeutic applications of selective GR antagonists are described including the pharmacological rationale and, in some cases, clinical evidence that underlies these proposed uses. Disease areas that are discussed are Cushing's syndrome,

Localization of glucocorticoid receptors and glucocorticoid receptor mRNAs in the rat cochlea

The Laryngoscope, 1993
AbstractThe distribution of glucocorticoid (GR) receptor messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and GR receptors was studied by in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunocytochemistry, respectively. In situ hybridization histochemistry was performed with a biotin‐labeled riboprobe complementary to rat GR receptor mRNA.

Glucocorticoid Receptors In the Brain

Hospital Practice, 1988
The ability to downregulate the stress response is essential to good health. We still have much to learn about the biochemical bases of glucocorticoid effects on brain function—but it is now clear that the interaction between hormones and neurons provides a pathway by which thoughts and emotions can influence hormone secretion and hormones can ...

Genetics of glucocorticoid receptors

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1986
The 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 ...
