anti-Glucocorticoid Receptor antibody [5E4] (FITC)
anti-Glucocorticoid Receptor antibody [5E4] (FITC) for Flow cytometry and Human,Mouse
Overview
| Product Description | FITC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [5E4] recognizes Glucocorticoid Receptor. This product recognizes the human glucocorticoid receptor, also known as Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1 (NR3C1), a 777 amino acid receptor bearing 3 distinct functional domains, an N-terminal modulating domain, a DNA binding domain and a C-terminal steroid binding domain. The human glucocorticoid receptor is located either in the cytoplasm of cells, prior to ligand binding associated with certain heat shock proteins (Kino et al. 2009), or the nucleus following binding to ligand (Werb et al. 1978). Mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can lead to familial glucocorticoid resistance, characterized by elevated plasma cortisol levels (Malchoff et al. 1993). This antibody has been demonstrated to cross-react with the murine glucocorticoid receptor (Bergquist et al. 2014) |

| Background | 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).

| Function | Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). 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. 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. Involved in chromatin remodeling. May play a negative role in adipogenesis through the regulation of lipolytic and antilipogenic genes expression. [UniProt] |

| PTM | Acetylation by CLOCK reduces its binding to glucocorticoid response elements and its transcriptional activity. Increased proteasome-mediated degradation in response to glucocorticoids (PubMed:11555652). Isoform Alpha-B appears to be more susceptible to proteolytic degradation than isoform Alpha (PubMed:11435610). Phosphorylated in the absence of hormone; becomes hyperphosphorylated in the presence of glucocorticoid. The Ser-203, Ser-226 and Ser-404-phosphorylated forms are mainly cytoplasmic, and the Ser-211-phosphorylated form is nuclear (PubMed:12000743, PubMed:18838540). Phosphorylation at Ser-211 increases transcriptional activity (PubMed:12000743, PubMed:18483179). Phosphorylation at Ser-203, Ser-226 and Ser-404 decreases signaling capacity (PubMed:12000743, PubMed:18483179, PubMed:18838540). Phosphorylation at Ser-404 may protect from glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis (PubMed:18838540). Phosphorylation at Ser-203 and Ser-211 is not required in regulation of chromosome segregation (PubMed:25847991). May be dephosphorylated by PPP5C, attenuates NR3C1 action (By similarity). Sumoylation at Lys-277 and Lys-293 negatively regulates its transcriptional activity (PubMed:12144530). Sumoylation at Lys-703 positively regulates its transcriptional activity in the presence of RWDD3 (By similarity). Sumoylation at Lys-277 and Lys-293 is dispensable whereas sumoylation at Lys-703 is critical for the stimulatory effect of RWDD3 on its transcriptional activity (By similarity). Heat shock increases sumoylation in a RWDD3-dependent manner (By similarity). Ubiquitinated; restricts glucocorticoid-mediated transcriptional signaling. [UniProt] |
