GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 3117
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Mt1
Name: metallothionein 1
Acc ID: CHEBI:17650
Term: cortisol
Definition: A 17alpha-hydroxy-C21-steroid that is pregn-4-ene substituted by oxo groups at positions 3 and 20 and hydroxy groups at positions 11, 17 and 21. Cortisol is a corticosteroid hormone or glucocorticoid produced by zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex, which is a part of the adrenal gland. It is usually referred to as the 'stress hormone' as it is involved in response to stress and anxiety, controlled by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). It increases blood pressure and blood sugar, and reduces immune responses.
Chemical ID: MESH:D006854
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
