GC coordinate with an intracellular glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to initiate signal transduction. Prior to the GC/GR binding however, GR is complexed with a chaperone Hsp90 in the cytoplasm. Upon binding of the GC to the GR, the Hsp90 chaperone dissociates from the GR and the resulting GR/GC complex enters the nucleus<ref name= "Homeo"/>. The GR is then recruited to specific genomic sequences called glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) <ref name= "Homeo"/>. |
