Receptors, Glucocorticoid MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Receptors, Glucocorticoid
Tree Number(s)
D12.776.826.750.430
Unique ID
D011965
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011965
Annotation
coord IM with specific glucocorticoid (IM)
Scope Note
Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind glucocorticoids and mediate their cellular effects. The glucocorticoid receptor-glucocorticoid complex acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of DNA. Glucocorticoids were named for their actions on blood glucose concentration, but they have equally important effects on protein and fat metabolism. Cortisol is the most important example.
