Mineralocoicoid receptors are present in all except: (A) Hippocampus, (B) Colon, (C) Liver, (D) Kidney
Answer is C. Mineralocoicoid receptor are present in kidney,hippocampus and colon. Glucocoicoid receptor are present in liver. Mineralocoicoid receptors (MR) bind bothmineralocoicoids and glucocoicoids with high affinity (deoxycoicosterone = coicosterone >/= aldosterone = coisol), and are found in both Na(+) transpoing epithelia (e.g. kidney, colon) and nonepithelial tissues (e.g. hea, brain).
