Rat GRbeta (Glucocorticoid Receptor Beta) ELISA Kit

ELISA Type: Sandwich. Detection Range: 15.63-1000µg/mL. Sensitivity: 9.38µg/mL. Sample Types: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Protein function: Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE), both for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and as a modulator of other transcription factors. Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Involved in chromatin remodeling (PubMed:12917342). Plays a role in rapid mRNA degradation by binding to the 5' UTR of target mRNAs and interacting with PNRC2 in a ligand-dependent manner which recruits the RNA helicase UPF1 and the mRNA-decapping enzyme DCP1A, leading to RNA decay. Could act as a coactivator for STAT5- dependent transcription upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation and could reveal an essential role of hepatic GR in the control of body growth. In response to induction by transcription factor EGR1/NGFI-A in the hippocampus, may play a role in the behavioral and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal responses to stress in offspring (PubMed:15220929).
