title: Evidence for an unusual multifunctional protoreceptor in hormone action.
abstract: Contrary to the techniques of mere association, column chromatography has revealed a 'protoreceptor' that accepts aldosterone agonists and antagonists only in the physiological target, the kidney, and is absent in non-targets, liver and serum; it is furthermore different from the aldosterone specific receptor in renal cytosol.
