Accession:PW:0000773 term browser browse the term
Definition:Those metabolic reactions involved in the synthesis of aldosterone, a C21 mineralocorticoid produced in the outer zone, the zona glomerulosa, of the adrenal cortex from cholesterol as the precursor. It plays important roles in the regulation of water and salt balance.
Synonyms:related_synonym: aldosterone biosynthetic process
