Overlay histogram showing MCF7 cells stained with ab206358 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab206358, 1/50 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

Isotype control antibody (black line) was Rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Alexa Fluorr® 594 (ab208568) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 40 mW Red laser (640nm) and 610/20 bandpass filter.

This antibody gave a positive signal in MCF7 cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min used under the same conditions.

Supplementary information

The androgen receptor (AR) also known as NR3C4 functions mechanically as a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding androgens including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. The AR has a molecular weight of approximately 110 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues notably in the prostate skeletal muscle and certain areas of the brain. Within cells AR is usually located in the cytoplasm when unbound and translocates to the nucleus upon activation by its ligands.
Biological function summary

AR interacts with androgen hormones to regulate gene expression. It forms a complex with coactivators and corepressors to modulate transcription of target genes involved in male sexual development and reproductive function. AR plays an important role in the development and maintenance of male characteristics and reproductive activity. Its expression impacts cellular processes such as proliferation differentiation and apoptosis.

Pathways

AR is intricately involved in the androgen signaling pathway which affects the regulation of genes related to male sexual characteristics. It also plays a part in the PI3K/Akt pathway influencing cell growth and survival. The AR pathway interacts with proteins such as estrogen receptors to mediate cross-talk between hormonal pathways highlighting its broad biological impacts.

AR has a significant connection to prostate cancer where it drives tumor growth and progression. Mutations and overexpression of the androgen receptor are often observed in prostate cancer cells. Another condition linked to AR is androgen insensitivity syndrome where mutations in the AR gene result in partial or complete inability of cells to respond to androgenic hormones. In these conditions AR antagonists like bicalutamide are often used as treatment inhibiting the receptor's activity to manage disease progression.

Target data

The protein expressed by the AR gene functions as a steroid hormone receptor, a type of ligand-activated transcription factor that regulates eukaryotic gene expression and influences cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Its transcription factor activity can be modulated by coactivator and corepressor proteins, such as ZBTB7A, which recruits NCOR1 and NCOR2 to androgen response elements on target genes, thereby negatively regulating androgen receptor signaling and androgen-induced cell proliferation. The transcription activation can also be down-regulated by NR0B2. The protein is activated, though not phosphorylated, by HIPK3 and ZIPK/DAPK3. Notably, isoforms 3 and 4 of this protein lack the C-terminal ligand-binding domain and may thus constitutively activate transcription of specific gene sets independently of steroid hormones.
