Mouse Glucocorticoid Receptor (NR3C1) ELISA Kit

Background

Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1 (NR3C1), also known as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), is a nuclear receptor that mediates the effects of glucocorticoids, hormones involved in stress response, metabolism, and immune function NR3C1 is activated by glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, and regulates the expression of genes involved in inflammation, immune suppression, and metabolism It is expressed in a variety of tissues, including the liver, immune cells, and brain, where it influences processes such as glucose metabolism, fat storage, and the immune response NR3C1 plays a key role in the body’s response to stress by regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which controls the production of cortisol and other stress hormones Dysregulation of NR3C1 signaling has been linked to various diseases, including metabolic syndrome, depression, autoimmune disorders, and cancer, where improper glucocorticoid signaling can contribute to inflammation, altered metabolism, and immune dysfunction GR is also a target for corticosteroid drugs used to treat conditions like asthma, arthritis, and autoimmune diseases
