The Evolution of Mineralocorticoid Receptors

Abstract excerpt

When the human mineralocorticoid receptor (hMR) was cloned and sequenced by the Evans laboratory, its close homology with the human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) was noted; subsequently, on the basis of its higher sequence similarity to the GR than to the progesterone receptor (PR) or androgen receptor (AR), MR and GR have commonly been considered to share an immediate common ancestral "corticoid receptor."
