Reversible: no

Product does not compete with ATP.

Primary TargetMineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors

General description

Corticosteroid hormone synthesized in response to stress. Binds to and activates mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors, resulting in altered expression which eventually affects ionic conductances through the membrane. Also induces apoptosis in murine bone marrow.
