Membrane mineralocorticoid receptor
Membrane mineralocorticoid receptors (mMRs) or membrane aldosterone receptors are a group of receptors which bind and are activated by mineralocorticoids such as aldosterone. Unlike the classical nuclear mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), which mediates its effects via genomic mechanisms, mMRs are cell surface receptors which rapidly alter cell signaling via modulation of intracellular signaling cascades. The identities of the mMRs have yet to be fully elucidated, but are thought to include membrane-associated classical MRs as well as yet-to-be-characterized G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Rapid effects of aldosterone were found not be reversed by the MR antagonist spironolactone, indicating additional receptors besides just the classical MR. It has been estimated that as much as 50% of
