Target data

Function

Steroid hormone receptors are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues (PubMed:19022849). Transcription factor activity is modulated by bound coactivator and corepressor proteins like ZBTB7A that recruits NCOR1 and NCOR2 to the androgen response elements/ARE on target genes, negatively regulating androgen receptor signaling and androgen-induced cell proliferation (PubMed:20812024). Transcription activation is also down-regulated by NR0B2. Activated, but not phosphorylated, by HIPK3 and ZIPK/DAPK3. Isoform 3. Lacks the C-terminal ligand-binding domain and may therefore constitutively activate the transcription of a specific set of genes independently of steroid hormones. Isoform 4. Lacks the C-terminal ligand-binding domain and may therefore constitutively activate the transcription of a specific set of genes independently of steroid hormones.

Activity summary

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

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.

    Expression of progesterone, androgen, glucocorticoid and estrogen receptors in cancer cells exposed to MF. Cells were exposed to either vehicle or the IC50 concentration of MF specific to each cell line for 24 h. Cells were subsequently harvested, lysed, and whole-protein extracts (50 μg for GR and AR; 100 μg for PR and ER-α) were separated by electrophoresis. Immunoblots were then probed with the indicated antibodies (for PR: †clone hPRa7, Thermo Fisher Scientific; ‡ #1483-1, Epitomics); two commercially available antibodies for human PR were used to strengthen the reliability of the results. β-actin was included as a control for protein loading. Because AR, GR-α and GR-β were immunoblotted in one membrane and PR-A, PR-B and ER-α were blotted in a separate membrane, each membrane was blotted separately with anti-β-actin. This experiment was repeated twice with similar outcome. MDA-231 means MDA-MB-231.
