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.

  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Eplerenone and Chloral hydrate 

Recommended Action
      Management Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Avoid alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.
