GenAge entry for NR3C1 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 75)

HGNC symbol: NR3C1
Aliases: GR; GRL
Common name: nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 (glucocorticoid receptor)

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: NR3C1 is a glucocorticoid receptor that modulates the expression of glucocorticoid-responsive genes. Mice with reduced NR3C1 function show behavioural changes indicative of cognitive impairment [1025], and in rats neurodegeneration has been associated with NR3C1 [1031]. A direct role in human ageing has not been demonstrated.
