1 The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) differs from the other steroid receptors in that it responds to two physiological ligands, aldosterone and cortisol. Hydrocortisone nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2 Homo sapiens
2 The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) differs from the other steroid receptors in that it responds to two physiological ligands, aldosterone and cortisol. Hydrocortisone nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2 Homo sapiens
3 Molecular modelling has identified a region in the LBD of the MR and indeed other steroid receptors that critically defines ligand-specificity for aldosterone and cortisol, yet is not part of the ligand-binding pocket. Hydrocortisone nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2 Homo sapiens
4 An interaction between the N-terminus and LBD observed in the MR is aldosterone-dependent but is unexpectedly antagonised by cortisol. Hydrocortisone nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2 Homo sapiens
