Entry term(s) receptor de corticoides de tipo II
receptor de glucocorticoides
Scope note: Proteínas citoplásmicas que se unen específicamente a los glucocorticoides e intervienen en sus efectos celulares. El complejo glucocorticoide-receptor de glucocorticoides actúa en el núcleo induciendo la transcripción del ADN. Los glucocorticoides se denominaron así por sus acciones sobre la glucemia, aunque también tienen importantes efectos sobre el metabolismo de las proteínas y las grasas. El cortisol es el ejemplo más importante.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011965
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.
