MeSH definition : 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.;
