NCIt synonyms : GR; GCR; GRL; Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3, Group C, Member 1 (Glucocorticoid Receptor) wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human NR3C1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q31.3 and is approximately
125 kb in length. This allele, which encodes glucocorticoid receptor protein, is involved
in transcriptional regulation that affects a variety of processes such as blood glucose
concentration, protein/fat metabolism, inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation,
and differentiation. Mutations in the gene are a primary cause of glucocorticoid resistance,
or cortisol resistance.;
