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 liganddependent transcription factors. ARs bind active testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The rates of association and dissociation of T are about three times more rapid than those of DHT. This difference in binding kinetic may account for the different physiological effects of T and DHT. Androgen binding results in an at least six-fold increase in androgen receptor stability. Akt phosphorylates human AR at Serines 210 and 790. The synthetic androgen R1881 elevates phosphorylation of Serines 308 and 650 in vitro.Synonyms: DHTR, Dihydrotestosterone receptor, NR3C4, Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 4
