The glucorticoid response element (GRE) has two copies of the sequence 5-AGRACA-3, where R is a purine.

Question:

The glucorticoid response element (GRE) has two copies of the sequence 5′-AGRACA-3′, where R is a purine.

Would the glucocorticoid receptor bind to all of those sites? Why or why not?
