How this Key Event works

Site of action: The molecular site of action is the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The GR is a steroid receptor belonging to the nuclear receptor (NR) family of ligand-dependent transcription factors. In the absence of a ligand, the GR is transcriptionally inactive in the cytoplasm. Responses at the macromolecular level: Binding of a hormonal ligand enables GR to translocate into the nucleas where it binds to genomic GC-response elements (GRE) and regulates trascription of associated genes.

How it is Measured or Detected

Methods that have been previously reviewed and approved by a recognized authority should be included in the Overview section above. All other methods, including those well established in the published literature, should be described here. Consider the following criteria when describing each method: 1. Is the assay fit for purpose? 2. Is the assay directly or indirectly (i.e. a surrogate) related to a key event relevant to the final adverse effect in question? 3. Is the assay repeatable? 4. Is the assay reproducible?
