FunctionGlucocorticoid receptor (GCR) is the nuclear receptor binding cortisol and glucocorticoids. GCR regulates genes involved in development, metabolism and immune response. GCR interacts with nuclear receptor coactivator 2 (NCOA2) which promotes DNA transcription by acylating histones[1]. See also: RelevanceThe glucocorticoid-bound GCR can either up-regulate the expression of anti-inflammatory proteins (transactivation) or repress the expression of pro-inflammatory proteins (transrepression)[2]. Structural highlightsGCR contains 5 domains: N terminal regulatory domain; DNA-binding domain (DBD) residues 417-506; hinge region; ligand-binding domain (LBD) residues 521-777 and C terminal domain.
