Researchers decipher a mechanism that determines the complexity of the glucocorticoid receptor

Caption

A team from the UB has described for the first time the molecular self-assembly process of this key protein and has revealed how its active conformation differs from the traditional model accepted for other nuclear receptors.  Above, from left to right, Pilar Montanyà-Vallugera, José Luis Torbado-Gardeazábal, Inés Montoya-Novoa and Montse Abella-Monleón.
