    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).

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build.

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (6) uses an alternate acceptor splice site at the 3' terminal exon compared to variant 1. This results in a frame-shift and a shorter isoform (beta, also known as GRbeta) with a distinct C-terminus compared to isoform alpha. This isoform resides primarily in the nucleus, lacks hormone-binding activity, and has a dominant negative effect on the action of isoform alpha (PMID:8621628).

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (7) uses an alternate in-frame donor splice site at one of the coding exons compared to variant 1. This results in an isoform (gamma) that is 1 aa longer than isoform alpha. The insertion of an additional amino acid (arginine) in the DNA binding domain has been reported to decrease transcriptional activation by the glucocorticoid receptor (PMID:10566686).

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (8, also known as GR-P) is missing 2 exons from the 3' end, and has a different 3' end compared to variant 1. This results in an isoform (GR-P) with a shorter and unique C-terminus compared to isoform alpha. The function of the encoded protein is not known, however, this variant is highly expressed in cells that are resistant to glucocorticoids, and may act to modulate glucocorticoid responsiveness (PMIDs:7796394, 11358809).
