Intratumoural aldosterone and CYP11B2 expression levels among different genotypes of aldosterone producing tumours. [PDF]
Endocr ConnectPrimary aldosteronism is the most common endocrine cause of hypertension, affecting 5–10% of hypertensive patients. Determining the source of aldosteronism is necessary for correct diagnosis and further molecular analysis. To investigate the relationship

Pathology and gene mutations of aldosterone-producing lesions
Endocrine Journal, 2023 The human adrenal cortex secretes aldosterone and cortisol as major corticosteroids. For their production, CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 catalyze the last steps in the syntheses of aldosterone and cortisol, respectively.
