A ball-and-stick chemical diagram depicts the steroid hormone aldosterone, showing the four-ring cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene backbone with multiple carbonyl and hydroxyl functional groups. In biological hierarchy, this small molecule is a mineralocorticoid within the endocrine system that acts on epithelial cells of the distal nephron in the kidney. In endocrinology and physiology, it promotes sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion, thereby regulating extracellular fluid volume and arterial blood pressure. It is synthesized in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex.
