[The androgen receptor: molecular pathology].

Abstract excerpt

Androgens play a crucial role in the development, maintenance and regulation of male phenotype and reproductive physiology through the androgen receptor, a transcription factor. Testosterone or dihydrotestosterone binding induces a trans-conformation of the androgen receptor and allows its translocation into the nucleus, where it recognizes specific DNA sequences. Recent developments in molecular genetics, as...
