    regulates gene expression by binding to glucocorticoid hormones

    The Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) is a type of protein found inside cells that binds to glucocorticoids, which are a class of steroid hormones. When these hormones bind to the receptor, it can influence the expression of specific genes, thereby regulating processes like inflammation, immune response, and metabolism. This receptor is crucial in medical treatments for conditions like asthma, autoimmune diseases, and even certain types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata.
