API Description: Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, crucial for regulating sodium and potassium balance in the body. It promotes sodium retention and potassium excretion by acting on the distal tubules of the kidney. Aldosterone is a pregnane-based steroidal hormone produced by the outer-section (zona glomerulosa) of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland, and acts on the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney to cause the conservation of sodium, secretion of potassium, increased water retention, and increased blood pressure. The overall effect of aldosterone is to increase reabsorption of ions and water in the kidney. It has a role as a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is an 11beta-hydroxy steroid, a 21-hydroxy steroid, a 18-oxo steroid, a 20-oxo steroid, a C21-steroid hormone, a steroid aldehyde, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid, a primary alpha-hydroxy ketone and a mineralocorticoid. It derives from a hydride of a pregnane.
