Function

Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC) (PubMed:27120390, PubMed:37478846). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE), both for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and as a modulator of other transcription factors (PubMed:28139699). Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Involved in chromatin remodeling (PubMed:9590696). Plays a role in rapid mRNA degradation by binding to the 5' UTR of target mRNAs and interacting with PNRC2 in a ligand-dependent manner which recruits the RNA helicase UPF1 and the mRNA-decapping enzyme DCP1A, leading to RNA decay (PubMed:25775514). Could act as a coactivator for STAT5-dependent transcription upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation and could reveal an essential role of hepatic GR in the control of body growth (By similarity). Isoform Alpha. Has transcriptional activation and repression activity (PubMed:11435610, PubMed:15769988, PubMed:15866175, PubMed:17635946, PubMed:19141540, PubMed:19248771, PubMed:20484466, PubMed:21664385, PubMed:23820903). Mediates glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis (PubMed:23303127). Promotes accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis (PubMed:25847991). May act as a tumor suppressor (PubMed:25847991). May play a negative role in adipogenesis through the regulation of lipolytic and antilipogenic gene expression (By similarity). Isoform Beta. Acts as a dominant negative inhibitor of isoform Alpha (PubMed:20484466, PubMed:7769088, PubMed:8621628). Has intrinsic transcriptional activity independent of isoform Alpha when both isoforms are coexpressed (PubMed:19248771, PubMed:26711253). Loses this transcription modulator function on its own (PubMed:20484466). Has no hormone-binding activity (PubMed:8621628). May play a role in controlling glucose metabolism by maintaining insulin sensitivity (By similarity). Reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis through down-regulation of PEPCK in an isoform Alpha-dependent manner (PubMed:26711253). Directly regulates STAT1 expression in isoform Alpha-independent manner (PubMed:26711253). Isoform Alpha-2. Has lower transcriptional activation activity than isoform Alpha. Exerts a dominant negative effect on isoform Alpha trans-repression mechanism (PubMed:20484466). Isoform GR-P. Increases activity of isoform Alpha. Isoform Alpha-B. More effective than isoform Alpha in transcriptional activation, but not repression activity. Isoform 10. Has transcriptional activation activity. Isoform Alpha-C1. Has transcriptional activation activity. Isoform Alpha-C2. Has transcriptional activation activity. Isoform Alpha-C3. Has highest transcriptional activation activity of all isoforms created by alternative initiation (PubMed:15866175, PubMed:23820903). Has transcriptional repression activity (PubMed:23303127). Mediates glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis (PubMed:23303127, PubMed:23820903). Isoform Alpha-D1. Has transcriptional activation activity. Isoform Alpha-D2. Has transcriptional activation activity. Isoform Alpha-D3. Has lowest transcriptional activation activity of all isoforms created by alternative initiation (PubMed:15866175, PubMed:23820903). Has transcriptional repression activity (PubMed:23303127).

Activity summary

Glucocorticoid Receptor beta (GRβ) also known as NR3C1 isoform β is a variant of the glucocorticoid receptor. Unlike its counterpart GRα GRβ does not bind glucocorticoids due to differences in its ligand-binding domain. With an approximate mass of 90 kDa GRβ acts primarily as a dominant negative regulator of GRα. It is expressed in various tissues including skin lung and immune cells which suggests it has a wide-reaching influence on cellular responses to glucocorticoids.

Biological function summary

GRβ functions as a modulator of glucocorticoid signaling by inhibiting the activity of GRα. Though it does not bind glucocorticoids itself it can still form part of a receptor complex that affects transcriptional activities. By reducing GRα-mediated gene expression GRβ influences the body's response to stress and inflammation. Its role as a competitor to GRα shapes the regulation of genes involved in metabolism immune function and cellular growth.

Pathways

The regulatory role of GRβ in glucocorticoid signaling impacts the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis which is important for stress response and homeostasis. GRβ interacts with proteins involved in the NF-kB pathway connecting it to the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. Through its effect on these pathways GRβ exerts control over the transcriptional regulation shared with GRα and other transcription factors influencing cellular processes like apoptosis and autophagy.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in GRβ expression or function link to conditions such as corticosteroid resistance and autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. GRβ's interaction with GRα is significant because imbalances in their ratios can alter the usual glucocorticoid effects contributing to disease pathology. GRβ also connects to proteins in inflammatory signaling cascades making it an important player in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance and sensitivity to glucocorticoid therapy.
