Crystal structure of the mineralocorticoid receptor DNA binding domain in complex with DNA.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The steroid hormone receptors regulate important physiological functions such as reproduction, metabolism, immunity, and electrolyte balance. Mutations within steroid receptors result in endocrine disorders and can often drive cancer formation and ...

Evolution of ligand specificity in vertebrate corticosteroid receptors
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Corticosteroid receptors include mineralocorticoid (MR) and glucocorticoid (GR) receptors. Teleost fishes have a single MR and duplicate GRs that show variable sensitivities to mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids.

3D model of amphioxus steroid receptor complexed with estradiol [PDF]
, 2009 The origins of signaling by vertebrate steroids are not fully understood. An important advance was the report that an estrogen-binding steroid receptor [SR] is present in amphioxus, a basal chordate with a similar body plan as vertebrates.

PATIENT WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE. RATIONAL CHOICE OF THERAPY
Рациональная фармакотерапия в кардиологии, 2017 The theory of chronic hyperactivation of neurohormonal systems, in particular, sympathoadrenal and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone, is the basis of modern concepts of the pathogenesis of heart failure. The medicinal blocking of these two systems has proved

Aldosterone: Essential for Life but Damaging to the Vascular Endothelium
Biomolecules, 2023 The renin angiotensin aldosterone system is a key regulator of blood pressure. Aldosterone is the final effector of this pathway, acting predominantly via mineralocorticoid receptors. Aldosterone facilitates the conservation of sodium and, with it, water

Hypertension in mice lacking 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 [PDF]
, 1999 Deficiency of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) in humans leads to the syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (SAME), in which cortisol illicitly occupies mineralocorticoid receptors, causing sodium retention, hypokalemia, and ...
