Glucocorticoid receptor pathway (WP2880)

Homo sapiens

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR, a.k.a. NR3C1) is a nuclear receptor that is activated upon binding of cortisol or glucocorticoids. It mainly regulates gene expression of several groups of genes in two ways. It can stimulate anti-inflammatory genes, or inhibit the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes.
