Evolution of the androgen receptor: structure-function implications.

Abstract excerpt

To shed light on the nature and evolution of structure-function relations in the androgen receptor (AR), we have undertaken a comparative analysis of all available AR and other steroid receptor sequences. We have identified a group of amino acids that "diagnose" the clade of androgen receptors--residues that are strictly conserved among the ARs but not shared with other receptors. We hypothesize that these amino...
