Differences in DNA Binding Characteristics of the Androgen and Glucocorticoid Receptors Can Determine Hormone-specific Responses
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
The basis for specificity of gene regulation by steroid hormone receptors remains an important problem in the study of steroid hormone action. One possible mechanism for steroid specificity is the difference in DNA binding characteristics of the receptors, although they share a high homology in their DNA-binding domains. Indeed, the androgen-specific expression of, for example, the probasin (PB) gene can be...
