Androgen Receptor Antagonists Small Molecules and Peptides

Human Androgen Receptor (AR; NR3C4) is a 110 kDa member of the NR3 subfamily of the nuclear hormone receptor family. Androgen receptors are expressed by androgen-sensitive tissue (bone, prostate, testis) and exist as both ahomodimers and a heterodime in a complex with the glucocorticoid receptor. Multiple forms of the androgen receptor are known to exist. The 110 kDa 'B' form is 919 amino acids in length. Phosphorylation increases its molecular weight to 112 kDa and 114 kDa. A five amino acid ...
