  2. 6. Functional analysis of ligand recognition by the glucocorticoid receptor

    Author : Ulrika Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : glucocorticoid receptor; steroid-binding; site-directed mutagenesis; protein-ligand interaction; mechanism of glucocorticoid action;

    Abstract : The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that belongs to the superfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. It contains three structural and functional domains. READ MORE

  4. 7. Gene regulation by the glucocorticoid receptor : post-DNA binding mechanisms of transcriptional activation

    Author : Tova Almlöf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Gene activation; Glucocorticoid receptor; Nuclear receptor; Transactivation domain; Transcription; Transcription factor; Yeast;

    Abstract : The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that belongs to the nuclear receptor family. The GR has important functions in cellular differentiation, development and metabolism in higher eukaryotes. READ MORE

  5. 8. Glucocorticoid in T cell differentiation

    Author : Yintong Xue; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thymocytes differentiate into mature T cells with an immunological restriction for self major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. Cells that do not recognize self MHC expressed on thymic epithelial cells (TEC) die by a rapid induction of apoptosis (default selection). READ MORE

  7. 10. Hormonal Regulation of the Human CYP27A1 and CYP7B1 Genes

    Author : Wanjin Tang; Kjell Wikvall; Maria Norlin; Mats Gåfvels; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmaceutical biochemistry; CYP27A1; CYP7B1; cholesterol; estrogen; androgen; prostate; glucocorticoid receptor; fetal development; Farmaceutisk biokemi;

    Abstract : CYP27A1 and CYP7B1 are widely expressed in various human tissues and are two key enzymes involved in the pathways for conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. Also, CYP27A1 is involved in bioactivation of vitamin D3 and CYP7B1 plays a role in 7alpha-hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone and other steroids. READ MORE
