The Hinge Region Regulates DNA Binding, Nuclear Translocation, and Transactivation of the Androgen Receptor
1 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
The androgen receptor (AR) encoding gene can undergo mutations during the development and treatment of prostate cancer. Even in hormone-independent stages, mutations in the receptor paradoxically seem to result in an increased AR function. Two such point mutations have been described in the part of the AR involved in DNA binding and nuclear translocation, namely the hinge region. Despite a decreased nuclear...
