definition

Androgen receptor (919 aa, ~99 kDa) is encoded by the human AR gene. This protein plays a role in the modulation of steroid-dependent gene transcription.

DesignNote

AR has 3 domains: N-terminal modulating (exon 1), DNA-binding (two C4 Zinc fingers, exons 2-3), and C-terminal hormone-binding (5 remaining exons). Polymorphic N-terminal poly-Gln tracts bind RAN, enhancing transactivation; decreased with increased poly-Gln length. An 87-kD (AR-A) isoform lacks a normal N-terminus, seen in the 110 kD (AR-B) form; A and B may differ in function. Ligand bound receptor translocates to the nucleus, homodimerizes, binds DNA, and stimulates transcription.
