Tissue Specificity | Detected in liver, brain, heart, kidney, colon, aorta, hippocampus, hypothalamus and adrenal fasciculata. |
Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated. |
Function | Receptor for both mineralocorticoids (MC) such as aldosterone and glucocorticoids (GC) such as corticosterone or cortisol. Binds to mineralocorticoid response elements (MRE) and transactivates target genes. The effect of MC is to increase ion and water transport and thus raise extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure and lower potassium levels. |
