glucocorticoid receptor

glucocorticoid receptor
a protein found in multiple forms within cells, which binds glucocorticoids and subsequently influences gene transcription

The cellular site of binding of dexamethasone by specific glucocorticoid receptors in cultured hepatoma cells was investigated with the use of certain mercurials.

Syn: GCCR, GCR, GR, GRL
