  2. Glucocorticoid receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucocorticoid_receptor

    Because the receptor gene is expressed in several forms, it has many different (pleiotropic) effects in different parts of the body. When glucocorticoids bind to GR, its primary mechanism of action is the regulation of gene transcription. [5] [6] The unbound receptor resides in the cytosol of the cell. After the receptor is bound to ...

  3. Annexin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexin

    Annexin is a common name for a group of cellular proteins.They are mostly found in eukaryotic organisms (animals, plants and fungi). In humans, the annexins are found inside the cell.

  4. 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 - Wikipedia

    In addition, the encoded protein can catalyze the reverse reaction, the conversion of cortisone to cortisol. Too much cortisol can lead to central obesity, and a particular variation in this gene has been associated with obesity and insulin resistance in children. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

    In bioinformatics, the general feature format (gene-finding format, generic feature format, GFF) is a file format used for describing genes and other features of DNA, RNA and protein sequences. GFF Versions

  7. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_adrenal...

    The goal is to normalize the production of 21-hydroxylase, the enzyme encoded by CYP21A2. Providing a working copy of this gene may improve adrenal hormone synthesis and subsequently normalize cortisol and aldosterone production. [253] Currently, gene replacement therapy for CAH is still at an early stage of research and development.

  8. Transcortin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcortin

    This gene encodes an alpha-globulin protein with corticosteroid-binding properties. This is the major transport protein for glucocorticoids and progestins in the blood of most vertebrates. The gene localizes to a chromosomal region containing several closely related serine protease inhibitors ( serpins ).

  9. Immediate early gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate_early_gene

    Immediate early genes (IEGs) are genes which are activated transiently and rapidly in response to a wide variety of cellular stimuli. They represent a standing response mechanism that is activated at the transcription level in the first round of response to stimuli, before any new proteins are synthesized.
