    Glucocorticoid
    `Glucocorticoids` (GC) are a class of steroid hormones characterised by an ability to bind with the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and trigger similar effects. Glucocorticoids are distinguished from mineralocorticoids and sex steroids by their specific receptors, target cells, and effects. In technical terms, `corticosteroid` refers to both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, but is often used as a synonym for `glucocorticoid`. Cortisol (or h...

    Glucocorticoid receptor
    The `glucocorticoid receptor` (`GR`) also known as `NR3C1` (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that binds with high affinity to cortisol and other glucocorticoids. The GR is expressed in almost every cell in the body and regulates either directly or indirectly genes controlling a wide variety of processes including the development, metabolism, and immune response of the organism. The GR p...
