    Glossary Mineralocorticoid Receptor

    protein that regulates salt and water balance in cells

    The Mineralocorticoid Receptor (MR) is a type of protein found inside cells that binds to mineralocorticoids, such as the hormone aldosterone. This receptor plays a crucial role in regulating the balance of salt and water in the body by influencing kidney function. When activated, it helps control blood pressure and fluid balance, making it important for both everyday health and in conditions like hypertension and heart failure.
