NR3C1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

NR3C1 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Member 1) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes glucocorticoid receptor, which can function both as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements in the promoters of glucocorticoid responsive genes to activate their transcription, and as a regulator of other transcription factors. NR3C1 is a transcriptional regulator of many drug-metabolizing enzymes and anti-inflammatory molecules. NR3C1 polymorphisms associate with obesity, muscle strength, and cortisol sensitivity. Glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphism (NR3C1 646 C>G) may play an important role in the development of severe bronchial asthma and resistance to glucocorticoids (GCs) . Disturbances in the structure and function of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) alter the glucocorticoid regulation of the corticotropin-releasing hormone, which leads to nonspecific activation of numerous receptors in the brain and alters the metabolism.
