MeSH Heading: Receptors, Glucocorticoid
Tree Number(s): D12.776.826.750.430
Unique ID: D011965
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011965
Annotation: coord IM with specific glucocorticoid (IM)
Scope Note: Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind glucocorticoids and mediate their cellular effects. The glucocorticoid receptor-glucocorticoid complex acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of DNA. Glucocorticoids were named for their actions on blood glucose concentration, but they have equally important effects on protein and fat metabolism. Cortisol is the most important example.
