Relationship Between Homodimeric Glucocorticoid Receptor and Transcriptional Regulation Assessed via an In Vitro Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy-Microwell System

Abstract Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a hormone-activated transcription regulatory protein involved in metabolism as well as adrenocortical responses to psychosocial stress. Ligand-activated GR localizes to the nucleus, where GR homodimers regulate gene transcription via direct binding to glucoco...
