Comparison of Transcriptional Activation by Corticosteroids of Human MR (Ile-180) and Human MR Haplotype (Ile180Val)
Yoshinao Katsu, Jiawn Zhang, Ya Ao +1
While the classical function of human mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is to regulate sodium and potassium homeostasis through aldosterone activation of the kidney MR, the MR also i…

Lysine-Cysteine-Serine-Tryptophan Inserted into the DNA-Binding Domain of Human Mineralocorticoid Receptor Increases Transcriptional Activation by Aldosterone
Yoshinao Katsu, Jiawen Zhang, Michael E. Baker
Due to alternative splicing in an ancestral DNA-binding domain (DBD) of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), humans contain two almost identical MR transcripts with either 984 amin…
