Background:

Androgens exhibit a wide range of effects on the development, maintenance and regulation of male phenotype and reproductive physiology in males. The androgen receptor (AR) is a member of the steroid superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors. ARs bind active testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The rates of association and dissociation of T are about 3 times more rapid than those of DHT. This difference in binding kinetics may account for the different physiological effects of T and DHT. Androgen binding results in an at least 6-fold increase in androgen receptor stability.

Specificity:

p-AR (S213) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Androgen Receptor protein only when phosphorylated at Ser213.

Alternative names:

Androgen receptor; Dihydrotestosterone receptor; Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 4; AR; DHTR; NR3C4
