DescriptionAnti-Androgen Receptor Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate
Alternate Names
  • Androgen receptor
  • Dihydrotestosterone receptor
  • Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 4
Background InformationAndrogen receptor (UniProt P15207; also known as Dihydrotestosterone receptor, Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 4) is encoded by the Ar (also known as Andr, Nr3c4, Tfm) gene (Gene ID 24208) in rat species. Androgen receptor (AR) is a hormone-activated transcription regulator that plays important roles in normal prostate development and function, as well as in malignant prostate transformation. The binding of an androgenic hormone (testosterone or dihydrotestosterone) induces a conformational change in AR, resulting its dissociation from heat schock proteins and subsequent translocation from the cytosol to nucleus, where it dimerizes and mediates either transcription activation or repression in a target gene-specific manner. The androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) or testicular feminization (TFM) is caused by a mutation of the androgen receptor gene located on the X chromosome.
