Expression of androgen receptor coactivator ARA70/ELE1 in androgenic alopecia

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, 2005
Background:  Androgens have been implicated in androgenic alopecia as evidenced by the increased cutaneous expression of androgen receptor (AR), 5α‐reductase, and decreased aromatase. Abnormalities of the AR‐signal transduction pathway probably participate in the development of androgenic alopecia. ARA70/ELE1 is an AR coactivator with two isoforms, one
