AbstractAndrogens (testosterone), acting via the androgen receptor (AR) a nuclear transcription factor, regulate male sexual development and body composition. In addition, AR expression plays an important role in the proliferation of human prostate cancer and confers a better prognosis in breast cancer. AR mRNA stability is central to the regulation of

Androgens, Antiandrogens and Androgen Receptor Abnormalities
European Urology, 1996Information on the molecular structure of the human androgen receptor has increased insight into the molecular mechanism of action of androgens and antiandrogens. It has also facilitated the study of molecular defects in the androgen receptor gene associated with prostate cancer.

Androgens and androgen receptors in breast cancer
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007Aromatase (CYP19) converts adrenal and ovarian androgens into estrogens, which supports the growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancers. Anti-aromatase agents are displacing antiestrogens as the first-line treatment for estrogen receptor positive breast cancers.

Testosterone and the Androgen Receptor
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2022Testosterone is a steroid hormone that is responsible for the development of normal male sexual characteristics and function as well as the maintenance of homeostasis among multiple organ systems throughout life. Testosterone production is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary axis under the direction of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and luteinizing

Targeting the Androgen Receptor
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2012Androgen receptor (AR)-mediated signaling is critical to the growth and survival of prostate cancer. Although medical castration and antiandrogen therapy can decrease AR activity and lower PSA, castration resistance eventually develops. Recent work exploring the molecular structure and evolution of AR in response to hormonal therapies has revealed ...

Androgen receptor mutations and androgen insensitivity
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2002The androgen receptor (AR) is a high affinity receptor protein encoded on the human X-chromosome that mediates the actions of androgens during development and in the adult. Defects in this receptor protein result in a wide range of abnormalities of male sexual development.

Androgen Receptor: An Overview
Critical Reviews in Eukaryotic Gene Expression, 1995The action of androgens in regulating development and growth is mediated by androgen receptor (AR). AR is a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily, a class of receptors that function through their ability to regulate the transcription of specific genes.

Androgens and Androgen Receptor in Dermatology
2002In addition to male sexual development and maturation, androgens also mediate sebum secretion and hair growth. The effect of androgens is mainly through their binding to the androgen receptor (AR) which is a nuclear receptor superfamily member. These androgen-AR complexes then enhance their target genes’ expression by binding to response elements in ...

Androgen receptors and their biology
2001Publisher Summary The androgen receptor plays an important role in development and differentiated function in both health and disease. Advances in molecular biology have significantly impacted our knowledge of the role of this important member of the steroid receptor superfamily throughout the body. The chapter discusses that androgens freely diffuse

The Androgen Receptor: An Overview
1994Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the androgen receptor (AR). AR is a ligand-activated transcriptional regulatory protein that mediates androgen-induced male sexual development and function. The chapter presents a schematic diagram that highlights the major functional domains of human AR.
