7 Questions
What is the main function of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR)?
Regulating the expression of genes that control development, metabolism, and immune response.
What is the result of alternative splicing of a gene?
Two completely irrelevant different functional proteins.
What explains the diversity of proteins compared to the number of genes?
Alternative splicing of genes.
What is the relationship between the number of protein products and the number of genes?
There are more protein products than mRNA or genes.
What is the role of intracellular steroid hormone receptors in transcriptional regulation?
They regulate the expression of genes.
What biological processes are regulated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR)?
Development, metabolism, and immune response.
What is the significance of alternative splicing of genes?
It creates diversity of proteins.
Test your knowledge on transcriptional regulation by intracellular steroid hormone receptors, with a focus on the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Learn about how GR controls the expression of genes related to development, metabolism, and immune response, as well as the concept of alternative splicing and its impact on protein diversity.
