General description

Mineralocorticoid receptor/nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 2/ (NR3C2, MLR, MCR) is a nuclear receptor for mineralocorticoids (eg. aldosterone) and glucocorticoids (eg. cortisol) that activates expression of proteins involved with ionic (salt balance) and water transport such as the epithelial sodium channel, Na+/K+ pump and serum and glucocorticoid induced kinase (SGK1).

Specificity

Anti-NR3C2 polyclonal antibody reacts with chicken, human, mouse, and rat mineralocorticoid/ aldosterone receptors.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human NR3C2

Application

Anti-NR3C2 polyclonal antibody is used to tag mineralocorticoid receptor protein for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of mineralocorticoid receptor in the mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid ligand-dependent control of salt balance and water retention.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NR3C2 is a receptor for both mineralocorticoids (MC) such as aldosterone and glucocorticoids (GC) such as corticosterone or cortisol. It 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.
