Glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1)

Short target page →

The receptor that steroid hormones switch on inside cells. In lymphoid cancers, dexamethasone and prednisone acting through it kill malignant lymphocytes directly, which is why steroids sit inside leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma regimens as well as easing nausea and swelling. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Ligand-activated nuclear receptor; in lymphoid cells its transcriptional programme induces apoptosis, the basis of steroid use in leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
