The human glucocorticoid receptor: one gene, multiple proteins and diverse responses.

Abstract excerpt

Glucocorticoids are a vital class of endogenous steroid hormones that regulate essential biological processes including growth, development, metabolism, behavior and apoptosis. Most, if not all, of these actions are thought to be mediated through the glucocorticoid receptor. The exact mechanisms of how one hormone, via one receptor, modulates such diverse biological functions are largely unknown. However, recent...
