    GlossaryNR3C1 gene (GR Gene)

    encodes a receptor for stress hormones like cortisol

    The NR3C1 gene, also known as the Glucocorticoid Receptor Gene, encodes a protein that binds to glucocorticoids, which are hormones involved in regulating metabolism, immune response, and stress. This gene plays a crucial role in how the body responds to stress and inflammation, and mutations or variations in NR3C1 can impact conditions like depression, anxiety, and autoimmune diseases.
