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 AlphaHas 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 BetaActs 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-2Has lower transcriptional activation activity than isoform Alpha. Exerts a dominant negative effect on isoform Alpha trans-repression mechanism (PubMed:20484466).Isoform GR-PIncreases activity of isoform Alpha.Isoform Alpha-BMore effective than isoform Alpha in transcriptional activation, but not repression activity.Isoform 10Has transcriptional activation activity.Isoform Alpha-C1Has transcriptional activation activity.Isoform Alpha-C2Has transcriptional activation activity.Isoform Alpha-C3Has 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-D1Has transcriptional activation activity.Isoform Alpha-D2Has transcriptional activation activity.Isoform Alpha-D3Has lowest transcriptional activation activity of all isoforms created by alternative initiation (PubMed:15866175, PubMed:23820903). Has transcriptional repression activity (PubMed:23303127).

Activity summary

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) also known as the cortisol receptor is a type of nuclear receptor that functions as a transcription factor. This receptor has a molecular mass of approximately 97 kDa. GR is expressed in various tissues including the liver lung and immune cells. Its mechanical action involves binding to glucocorticoids—hormones like cortisol—which can regulate DNA transcription. When activated the receptor translocates into the cell nucleus where it can directly interact with DNA to regulate gene expression.

Biological function summary

The glucocorticoid receptor plays a significant role in mediating the physiological effects of glucocorticoids. It controls processes like inflammation and immune response. The receptor is part of a larger receptor complex enhancing its effectiveness in gene regulation. It modulates expression levels of diverse genes involved in metabolism immune functionality and cellular growth. GR's regulatory actions make it contextual within various biological processes impacting cellular behavior extensively.

Pathways

The glucocorticoid receptor integrates into significant signaling networks like the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the inflammatory response pathway. This receptor coordinates with other proteins to control stress responses and inflammatory signals. In the HPA axis GR helps regulate cortisol levels and counteracts inflammatory cytokines. Its interaction with other receptors and transcription factors exemplifies its role in essential pathways that maintain homeostasis and stress adaptation within the organism.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal glucocorticoid receptor function links to conditions like Cushing's syndrome and glucocorticoid resistance. Cushing's syndrome characterized by excessive cortisol levels shows altered GR signaling. Similarly glucocorticoid resistance involves mutations or dysfunctions in GR that lead to improper hormone action affecting inflammation and immune responses. These diseases often involve other proteins such as various cytokines in the inflammatory response showing the broad impact of GR in disease processes.
