'''[[Steroid Hormones and their receptors]]'''
This large and diverse class of steroids are biosynthesized from isoprenoids and structurally resemble cholesterol. Mammalian steroid hormones can be grouped into five groups by the receptors to which they bind: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, estrogens, and progestogens. Vitamin D derivatives are a sixth closely related hormone system with homologous receptors. They have some of the characteristics of true steroids as receptor ligands. For example, <scene name='89/895670/Cv/1'>estradiol</scene> is an important estrogen steroid hormone in both women and men. It is a typical steroid with core four-ring system (ABCD), composed of 17 carbon atoms.
=[[Corticosteroids]]=
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. Two main classes of corticosteroids, [[glucocorticoids]] and [[mineralocorticoids]], are involved in a wide range of physiological processes.
<scene name='89/896210/Cv/1'>Prednisone</scene> and its derivatives have some mineralocorticoid action in addition to the glucocorticoid effect.

Water molecules are shown as red spheres. <scene name='49/490063/Cv/7'>Whole active site</scene>.
*[[Corticosteroid-binding globulin]]
<scene name='89/895670/Cv/2'>Cortisol</scene> (hydrocortisone) is a corticosteroid with both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid activity and effects.
==[[Glucocorticoids]]==
Glucocorticoids are corticosteroids that bind to the glucocorticoid receptor. <scene name='89/895670/Cv/3'>Dexamethasone</scene> is a glucocorticoid medication. It is the most potent glucocorticoid and it has not mineralocorticoid potency. 
*[[Glucocorticoid receptor]]. <scene name='89/895670/Cv/4'>Human glucocorticoid receptor ligand-binding domain bound to dexamethasone</scene> ([[1m2z]]).

'''FOXO1''' activation contributes to '''glucocorticoid'''-induced beta cell death<ref>PMID:23435785</ref>. FOX contain a DNA-binding motif (DBD) of 80-100 amino acids having a winged-helix shape.

**<scene name='47/479231/Cv/7'>Cl coordination site</scene>.
*[[Nuclear receptor coactivator]] (NCOA) is a protein recruited by nuclear receptors in order to enhance or repress DNA transcription. NCOA is involved in coactivation with transcription factors<ref>PMID:9121485</ref>. '''NCOA1''' shows histone acetyltransferase activity and is required for '''steroid hormone''' response. '''NCOA2''' is a DNA transcription coactivator with '''glucocorticoid''' receptor.

*[[Thioredoxin Reductase]] (TrxR) is an enzyme which reduces thioredoxin using NADPH<ref>PMID:11012661</ref>. Mutations in TrxR-2 are associated with familial '''glucocorticoid''' deficiency<ref>PMID:24601690</ref>. Thioredoxin Reductase (TrxR) is an enzyme which reduces thioredoxin using NADPH<ref>PMID:11012661</ref>.  '''TrxR-2''' is mitochondrial.

Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
*Microsomal [[Prostaglandin E synthase]] (PGES) converts cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived prostaglandin to PGE2. It is membrane-associated and belongs to the microsomal glutathione S-transferase family. PGES is preferentially linked with the inducible COX-2<ref>PMID:12432931</ref> . PGES is induced by proinflammatory stimuli and down-regulated by anti-inflammatory '''glucocorticoids'''<ref>PMID:16336776</ref>. Microsomal ''Prostaglandin E synthase'' <scene name='77/778890/Cv/2'>is membrane-associated</scene> (coordinates are from [http://opm.phar.umich.edu/protein.php?extrapdb=4yl0 OPM database]. The <scene name='77/778890/Cv/6'>anti-inflammatory inhibitor binds to PGES in a pocket above the glutathione and interacts with various side-chains of a helix</scene><ref>PMID:25961169</ref>. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
==[[Mineralocorticoids]]==
Mineralocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids. Mineralocorticoids are produced in the adrenal cortex and influence salt and water balances (electrolyte balance and fluid balance). The primary mineralocorticoid is <scene name='89/896192/Cv/1'>aldosterone</scene>.
*[[Mineralocorticoid receptor]] (MR) in epithelial cells is activated by the mineralocorticoid hormone aldosterone promoting renal sodium retention and potassium excretion. It is [[Nuclear receptors|nuclear receptor]]. In non epithelial cells MR is activated by cortisol<ref>PMID:15199296</ref>.  MR is exposed to many steroids including cortisol, cortisone and progesterone, however, aldosterone and deoxycorticosterone are its physiological ligands. MR mutations are the principal cause of renal pseudohypoaldosteronism<ref>PMID:16972228</ref>. MR mutation S810L causes early-onset hypertension<ref>PMID:10884226</ref>. Inhibition of cardia MR prevents doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity<ref>PMID:28430882</ref>. MR is an important proadipogenic transcription factor that may mediate aldosterone and glucocorticoid effects on adipose tissue development and hence on obesity and development of metabolic syndrome<ref>PMID:17384139</ref>.
