nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 2

Gene 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; opioid abuse; and pseudohypoaldosteronism. Orthologous to human NR3C2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
