Disrupted Amino- and Carboxyl-Terminal Interactions of the Androgen Receptor Are Linked to Androgen Insensitivity
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
We have compared the functional consequences of seven single-point mutations in the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the androgen receptor (AR). The mutations span helices 3 to 11 and are present in patients suffering from androgen insensitivity syndromes (AIS) and other male-specific disorders. The mutants, except M742V, bound to androgen response elements in vivo and in vitro and showed a testosterone-dependent...
