Term Detail

GO term:	glucocorticoid receptor activity
GO id:	GO:0004883
Definition:	Combining with a glucocorticoid and transmitting the signal within the cell trigger a change in cell activity or function.
Comments	If the mechanism by which a glucocorticoid receptor functions is known, consider instead annotating to the child terms 'glucocorticoid-activated sequence-specific DNA binding RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity ; GO:0038050' or 'glucocorticoid-activated RNA polymerase II transcription factor binding transcription factor activity ; GO:0038051'.
Number of paths to term:	2

denotes an 'is-a' relationship
denotes a 'part-of' relationship
denotes a 'regulates' relationship
denotes a 'positively-regulates' relationship
