The glucocorticoid receptor ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of glucocorticoid receptor in various samples. glucocorticoid receptor is an alternative name for the human NR3C1 gene, which encodes the protein, nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1. It has been mentioned that glucocorticoid receptor plays a role in the apoptotic pathway and astrocyte differentiation, among other functions. Structurally, the NR3C1 protein is described to be 777 amino acid residues in length and 85.7 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be widely expressed including bone, stomach, lung, liver, colon, breast, ovary, pancreas and kidney. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated, sumoylated, acetylated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include GCCR, GCR, and GCRST.
The detection range for different glucocorticoid receptor ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 10 ng/L and as high as 32 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
