Target
-
Function
Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) and as a modulator of other transcription factors. Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. 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. Involved in chromatin remodeling. Plays a significant role in transactivation. Involved in nuclear translocation. -
Tissue specificity
Widely expressed. In the heart, detected in left and right atria, left and right ventricles, aorta, apex, intraventricular septum, and atrioventricular node as well as whole adult and fetal heart. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in NR3C1 are a cause of glucocorticoid resistance (GCRES) [MIM:138040]; also known as cortisol resistance. It is a hypertensive, hyperandrogenic disorder characterized by increased serum cortisol concentrations. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR3 subfamily.
Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain. -
Domain
Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsIncreased proteasome-mediated degradation in response to glucocorticoids.
Phosphorylated in the absence of hormone; becomes hyperphosphorylated in the presence of glucocorticoid. The Ser-203-phosphorylated form is mainly cytoplasmic, and the Ser-211-phosphorylated form is nuclear. Transcriptional activity correlates with the amount of phosphorylation at Ser-211.
Sumoylated; this reduces transcription transactivation.
Ubiquitinated; restricts glucocorticoid-mediated transcriptional signaling. -
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasmic in the absence of ligand, nuclear after ligand-binding and Nucleus. Localized largely in the nucleus. - Information by UniProt

ab183127 Anti-Glucocorticoid Receptor antibody [EPR19621] was shown to specifically react with Glucocorticoid Receptor in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab261766 (knockout cell lysate ab257009) was used. Wild-type and Glucocorticoid Receptor knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab183127 and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [EP1332Y] - Microtubule Marker (ab52866) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively.

ab183127 was shown to recognize NR3C1 in wild-type A549 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in NR3C1 knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and NR3C1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE.
