Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA binding activity; histone acetyltransferase binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nuclear receptor-mediated corticosteroid signaling pathway; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and response to mineralocorticoid. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic density, intracellular component; and presynaptic active zone cytoplasmic component. Used to study alcohol use disorder; morphine dependence; and polycystic ovary syndrome. Biomarker of alcohol dependence; fetal alcohol spectrum disorder; obesity; and steatotic liver disease. 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).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
