DEFINITION

Glucocorticoid receptor (777 aa, ~86 kDa) is encoded by the human NR3C1 gene. This protein plays a role in both chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation.

DesignNote

Complexed with HSP90, HSP70, and FKBP5 or PPP5C, activated GR is transported (by dynein/FKBP4) to the nucleus and binds to target GREs as a homodimeric or heterodimeric (NR3C2/RXR) transcription factor and modulates other transcription factors to regulate blood glucose concentration, protein/fat metabolism, inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, and differentiation. GR appears to interact with NRIP1, POU2F1, POU2F2, STAT5A, STAT5B, SMARCA4, CREBBP/EP300, TADA2L, p160, NCOA2, and NCOA6. Sumoylation and BAG1 interaction inhibits transactivation.
