Abstract excerpt
Ligand-receptor coupling is one of the important constituents of signal transduction and is essential for physiological transmission of actions of endogenous substances including steroid hormones. However, molecular mechanisms of the redundancy between glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions remain unknown because of complicated cross-talk among, for example, these adrenal steroids, their cognate receptors,...
