Difference between Mineralocorticoid and Steroid hormone

Mineralocorticoid vs. Steroid hormone

Mineralocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which in turn are a class of steroid hormones. A steroid hormone is a steroid that acts as a hormone.

Similarities between Mineralocorticoid and Steroid hormone

Mineralocorticoid and Steroid hormone have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenal cortex, Adrenal gland, Corticosteroid, DNA, Fludrocortisone, Gene, Glucocorticoid, Lipid bilayer, Nuclear receptor, Receptor (biochemistry), Steroid.

Adrenal cortex

Situated along the perimeter of the adrenal gland, the adrenal cortex mediates the stress response through the production of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, such as aldosterone and cortisol, respectively.

Adrenal gland

The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol.

Corticosteroid

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Fludrocortisone

Fludrocortisone, sold under the brand name Florinef among others, is a corticosteroid which is used to treat adrenogenital syndrome, postural hypotension, and adrenal insufficiency.

Nuclear receptor

In the field of molecular biology, nuclear receptors are a class of proteins found within cells that are responsible for sensing steroid and thyroid hormones and certain other molecules.
