Recent studies have documented the properties of high affinity renal cytoplasmic receptors for aldosterone (Type I ), and for glucocorticoids (Type II) which bind dexamethasone with about twice the affinity shown for corticosterone. We now present evidence for the existence of a third class of renal cytoplasmic receptors (Type III) which resemble but are probably distinct from plasma corticosteroid—binding globulin (CBG). The Type III sites have a high affinity for corticosterone, Kdisg = 3 X 10–9M at 25 C, and very low affinities for both aldosterone and dexamethasone. The Type III receptors follow saturation kinetics in the binding of 3H—corticosterone, and the relative affinities of various steroids for these sites is in the following sequence: corticosterone > cortisol > deoxycorticosterone > progesterone > aldosterone > dexamethasone. Within the kidney, the inner medullapapilla showed substantially higher concentrations of Type III receptors than the outer cortex. The protein nature of the type III r...
