| Gene Name | NR3C2 | ||||||||
| Uniprot ID | MCR_HUMAN | ||||||||
| KEGG Pathway | hsa:4306 | ||||||||
| Protein Family | Nuclear hormone receptor family | ||||||||
| Protein 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.

| Key Mechanism Factor 2 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | Adrenergic receptor alpha-2 | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | G-protein coupled receptor 1 family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The rank order of potency for agonists of this receptor is oxymetazoline > clonidine > epinephrine > norepinephrine > phenylephrine > dopamine > p-synephrine > p-tyramine > serotonin = p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > phentolamine = mianserine > chlorpromazine = spiperone = prazosin > propanolol > alprenolol = pindolol.
