steroid hormone receptor activity
steroid binding
Processes
    gene expression

signal transduction
Components
    endoplasmic reticulum membrane

receptor complex
General FunctionZinc ion binding
Specific FunctionReceptor 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.
