Glucocorticoid receptors are found within almost every cell of the body, allowing for their widespread effects on physiological processes. They are not primarily localized in the adrenal glands, disappear following adrenalectomy, or deteriorate with age, as they are constantly synthesized and degraded to maintain their function. They are also not primarily localized in the brain stem, although they have important effects on brain function.
