= Glucocorticoid receptor
A <nuclear receptor> responding to glucocorticoid <ligands>, with regulated localization and recruitment of transcriptional partners.
Ligand-dependent regulation changes nuclear activity and interaction with DNA-associated factors. Because the <receptor> directly connects a small-molecule <hormone> to <gene regulation>, its response can include delayed changes requiring <transcription> and <protein> synthesis. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapter 15, General Principles of Cell Communication: intracellular receptors]{ref}
