Abstract excerpt
When the human glucocorticoid receptor (GR) was first sequenced, a predominant form (GRalpha) and a minor variant (GRbeta) were identified. In the present communication, we describe a new variant of the glucocorticoid receptor (GRgamma) in which, as a result of alternative splicing, three bases are retained from the intron separating exons 3 and 4. These three bases code for an additional amino acid (arginine) in...
