The androgen receptor/filamin A complex as a target in prostate cancer microenvironment [PDF]
Prostate cancer represents the major cause of cancer-related death in men and patients frequently develop drug-resistance and metastatic disease. Most studies focus on hormone-resistance mechanisms related to androgen receptor mutations or to the ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of a nuclear androgen receptor activated by 11-ketotestosterone [PDF]
Although 11-ketotestosterone is a potent androgen and induces male secondary sex characteristics in many teleosts, androgen receptors with high binding affinity for 11-ketotestosterone or preferential activation by 11-ketotestosterone have not been ...

The impact of point mutations in the human androgen receptor: classification of mutations on the basis of transcriptional activity. [PDF]
Androgen receptor mediated signaling drives prostate cancer cell growth and survival. Mutations within the receptor occur infrequently in prostate cancer prior to hormonal therapy but become prevalent in incurable androgen independent and metastatic ...

Androgen regulation of the androgen receptor coregulators [PDF]
Background The critical role of the androgen receptor (AR) in the development of prostate cancer is well recognized. The transcriptional activity of AR is partly regulated by coregulatory proteins. It has been suggested that these coregulators could also

Androgen receptor mutations [PDF]
Male sexual differentiation and development proceed under direct control of androgens. Androgen action is mediated by the intracellular androgen receptor, which belongs to the superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors.

Transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of human androgen receptor expression by androgen. [PDF]
Autoregulation is a control mechanism common to several proteins of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily. In this work the effect of androgens and antiandrogens on the expression of the human androgen receptor (hAR) in prostate and breast ...

Androgen receptor abnormalities [PDF]
The human androgen receptor is a member of the superfamily of steroid hormone receptors. Proper functioning of this protein is a prerequisite for normal male sexual differentiation and development.
