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. {ECO:0000269PubMed:19029984}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000255PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00407, ECO:0000269PubMed:19029984}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Cytoplasmic and nuclear in the absence of ligand; nuclear after ligand-binding. When bound to HSD11B2, it is found associated with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in heart and kidney. {ECO:0000269PubMed:19029984}.
