• Entrez Summary: 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. This receptor is typically found in the cytoplasm, but upon ligand binding, is transported into the nucleus. It is involved in inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation, and differentiation in target tissues. Mutations in this gene are associated with generalized glucocorticoid resistance. Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding either the same or different isoforms. Additional isoforms resulting from the use of alternate in-frame translation initiation sites have also been described, and shown to be functional, displaying diverse cytoplasm-to-nucleus trafficking patterns and distinct transcriptional activities (PMID:15866175).

• UniProt Summary: Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC) (PubMed:27120390). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE), both for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and as a modulator of other transcription factors. Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Involved in chromatin remodeling (PubMed:9590696). Plays a role in rapid mRNA degradation by binding to the 5' UTR of target mRNAs and interacting with PNRC2 in a ligand-dependent manner which recruits the RNA helicase UPF1 and the mRNA-decapping enzyme DCP1A, leading to RNA decay (PubMed:25775514). Could act as a coactivator for STAT5-dependent transcription upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation and could reveal an essential role of hepatic GR in the control of body growth (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P06537, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25775514, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27120390, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9590696}. Isoform Beta: Acts as a dominant negative inhibitor of isoform Alpha (PubMed:7769088, PubMed:8621628, PubMed:20484466). Has intrinsic transcriptional activity independent of isoform Alpha when both isoforms are coexpressed (PubMed:19248771, PubMed:26711253). Loses this transcription modulator function on its own (PubMed:20484466). Has no hormone-binding activity (PubMed:8621628). May play a role in controlling glucose metabolism by maintaining insulin sensitivity (By similarity). Reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis through down-regulation of PEPCK in an isoform Alpha-dependent manner (PubMed:26711253). Directly regulates STAT1 expression in isoform Alpha-independent manner (PubMed:26711253). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P06537, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19248771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20484466, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26711253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7769088, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8621628}. Isoform GR-P: Increases activity of isoform Alpha. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11358809}. Isoform 10: Has transcriptional activation activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20484466}. Isoform Alpha-C2: Has transcriptional activation activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15866175}. Isoform Alpha-D1: Has transcriptional activation activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15866175}. Isoform Alpha-D3: Has lowest transcriptional activation activity of all isoforms created by alternative initiation (PubMed:15866175, PubMed:23820903). Has transcriptional repression activity (PubMed:23303127). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15866175, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23303127, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23820903}.
