Tissue localization of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and its relationship to the glucocorticoid receptor

11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) dictates specificity for the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) by converting the active steroid cortisol to cortisone in man (corticosterone to 11-dehydrocorticosterone in rodents), leaving aldosterone to occupy the MR. However cortisol is the principal circu...
