The glucocorticoid receptor (GR, or GCR) also known as NR3C1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1) is the receptor to which cortisol and other glucocorticoids bind.
By interacting with mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors in the brain, corticosteroid hormones help the body adapt to stress (MR and GR). These receptors serve as important transcription factors in considerable part.
The glucocorticoid receptor controls how the body will react to stress, even though cortisol is a blatant indicator that stress is there. A mechanism that affects the production of specific stress-response proteins is activated when cortisol binds to the glucocorticoid receptor.
