The target cells of aldosteron are in the distal convulated tubules. Aldosteron there spreads into the cells, makes complexes with the receptors of the nucleus and codes for genes that are responsible for the proteins (e.g. sodium permease) and ferments (citratsintase, carboanhidrase) that are important for the transfer of sodium ions.
Aldosterone binds to mineralocorticoid receptors, which are located in the cytoplasm of target cells. Upon binding, the aldosterone-receptor complex translocates to the nucleus where it acts as a transcription factor to regulate the expression of specific genes involved in electrolyte balance and blood pressure regulation.
The target tissue affected by somatic mutations is the body's non-reproductive cells, including those in organs, muscles, and connective tissue. These mutations are not passed on to offspring as they do not affect germ cells.
The primary chemical affected by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is angiotensin II. This hormone is involved in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance by causing vasoconstriction and stimulating the release of aldosterone from the adrenal glands.
The cells in the nephron that respond to ADH are called principal cells, while the cells that respond to aldosterone are called intercalated cells. These cells play a crucial role in regulating the reabsorption of water and electrolytes in the kidneys.
Hormones convey information to target cells in the body. These cells have specific receptors that can bind to the hormone molecules, triggering a response or a change in cellular activity. Target cells are typically found in tissues or organs that are affected by the hormone.

Hormones affect target cells because target cells have receptors that bind with certain hormones (they're specific). If a cell does not have a receptor then it is not affected by hormones. Target cells (which do have the receptor for a particular hormone) would be affected by the hormone.
The target receptor proteins of cells will cause them to affected by a specific protein. These cells are also called "target" cells. Hormones flow via the bloodstream throughout the entire body, but they only affect their specific "target" cells.
Presence of target cells may be due to: Breakdown of red blood cells (decreased osmotic fragility) Deficiency of an enzyme called lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase. Abnormalities of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carry oxygen (hemoglobinopathies).
