The glucocorticoid receptor (GR[1][1]), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), progesterone receptor (PR), and androgen receptor (AR) are classic members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, composing subfamily 3C. Members of this subfamily are among those receptors that were cloned the earliest, with the
