Abstract excerpt
Estrogens, primarily 17beta-estradiol (E(2)), may play important roles in male physiology via the androgen receptor (AR). It has already been shown that E(2) modulates AR function in LNCaP prostate cancer cells and xenograft CWR22 prostate cancer tissues. Using a molecular model of E(2) bound-AR-ligand binding domain (LBD) and employing site-directed mutagenesis strategies, we screened several AR mutants that...
