Abstract excerpt
The biological actions of androgens are mediated by transcriptional control of target genes through binding to the androgen receptor (AR). The AR belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily and acts as a ligand-inducible transcriptional factor. Androgens/AR system is thought to be central to male physiology and behaviors to the development of clinical pathology. The physiological importance of AR function...
