Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables steroid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including angiotensin-activated signaling pathway; potassium ion homeostasis; and regulation of blood volume by renal aldosterone. Acts upstream of or within intracellular sodium ion homeostasis and renal sodium excretion. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; intestine; and trophectoderm. Used to study autosomal dominant pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 and pseudohypoaldosteronism. Orthologous to human NR3C2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2).
