Corticosteroid receptor

The corticosteroid receptors are receptors for corticosteroids.[1] They include the following two nuclear receptors:[1][2][3]

The glucocorticoid receptor.

There are also membrane corticosteroid receptors, including the membrane glucocorticoid receptors and the membrane mineralocorticoid receptors, which are not well-characterized at present.[4][5][6]
