Target

  • Function

    Steroid hormone receptors are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Transcription factor activity is modulated by bound coactivator and corepressor proteins. Transcription activation is down-regulated by NR0B2. Activated, but not phosphorylated, by HIPK3 and ZIPK/DAPK3.
    Isoform 3 and isoform 4 lack the C-terminal ligand-binding domain and may therefore constitutively activate the transcription of a specific set of genes independently of steroid hormones.

  • Tissue specificity

    Isoform 2 is mainly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle (PubMed:15634333). Isoform 3 is expressed by basal and stromal cells of prostate (at protein level) (PubMed:19244107).

  • Involvement in disease

    Androgen insensitivity syndrome
    Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy X-linked 1
    Defects in AR may play a role in metastatic prostate cancer. The mutated receptor stimulates prostate growth and metastases development despite of androgen ablation. This treatment can reduce primary and metastatic lesions probably by inducing apoptosis of tumor cells when they express the wild-type receptor.
    Androgen insensitivity, partial

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR3 subfamily.
    Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.

  • Domain

    Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain. In the presence of bound steroid the ligand-binding domain interacts with the N-terminal modulating domain, and thereby activates AR transcription factor activity. Agonist binding is required for dimerization and binding to target DNA. The transcription factor activity of the complex formed by ligand-activated AR and DNA is modulated by interactions with coactivator and corepressor proteins. Interaction with RANBP9 is mediated by both the N-terminal domain and the DNA-binding domain. Interaction with EFCAB6/DJBP is mediated by the DNA-binding domain.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Sumoylated on Lys-388 (major) and Lys-521. Ubiquitinated. Deubiquitinated by USP26. 'Lys-6' and 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination by RNF6 modulates AR transcriptional activity and specificity.
    Phosphorylated in prostate cancer cells in response to several growth factors including EGF. Phosphorylation is induced by c-Src kinase (CSK). Tyr-535 is one of the major phosphorylation sites and an increase in phosphorylation and Src kinase activity is associated with prostate cancer progression. Phosphorylation by TNK2 enhances the DNA-binding and transcriptional activity and may be responsible for androgen-independent progression of prostate cancer. Phosphorylation at Ser-83 by CDK9 regulates AR promoter selectivity and cell growth. Phosphorylation by PAK6 leads to AR-mediated transcription inhibition.
    Palmitoylated by ZDHHC7 and ZDHHC21. Palmitoylation is required for plasma membrane targeting and for rapid intracellular signaling via ERK and AKT kinases and cAMP generation.

  • Cellular localization

    Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Predominantly cytoplasmic in unligated form but translocates to the nucleus upon ligand-binding. Can also translocate to the nucleus in unligated form in the presence of RACK1.

Question

Thank you very much for your reply.



I would like to use the antibodies against Androgen receptor for detection of androgen receptor in mouse brain floating tissue sections. Is you warranty covering also this application? On your website you mostly show images for prostate, which has much higher expression levels than the brain, so therefore, I would like to check whether your warranty also cover brain tissue for that specific antibody.



Interestingly, though, some our colleagues did use antibody 1852-1 successfully (at least they showed photomicrographs) for detecting AR in mouse brain tissue.



Best regards,

Question

Dear sir/madam,
I am planning to purchase 1852-1 antibodies against androgen receptor through Abcam Europe. I would like to use this antibody for immunohistochemistry on floating brain sections (murine), as one my colleague has already done. However, since on your website you claim that antibody 3165-1 is suitable for immunohistochemistry while 1852-1 is not (although my colleague has used it and it worked) I would like to ask you if it would be possible to get, together with purchased 1852-1 antibody, also a small sample of 3165-1 antibody so I can compare the two which one might be better for our particular application?
Thank you very much in advance!
Yours sincerely,

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry.

I can confirm that in our hands ab52615 (1852-1) is not working in IHC, ICC and IP. Therefore this antibody is not covered by our guarantee since we are not convinced that ab52615 is suitable for these applications.

I can strongly recommend to use ab133273 (3165-1) for your IHC-P experiments. This antibody has been tested to work and we therefore can guarantee this for you.

https://www.abcam.com/Androgen-Receptor-antibody-EPR15352-ab133273.html (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/Androgen-Receptor-antibody-EPR15352-ab133273.html).

https://www.abcam.com/abpromise

I am sorry to confirm that because we carry over 90,000 products, it isn't feasible for us to keep small sample sizes of our products.

I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us again with any further questions.

Question

Phone call enquiring if ab52615 had been used in ICC, or if a sample portion could be sent.

Read More
Answer

Thank you for contacting us and your interest in our products.

As discussed over the phone, we do not provide tester samples of our antibodies simply due to the logistics that would be involved in this. With over 70,000 products it simply isn't feasible. We do however have a testing discount scheme. As discussed over the phone, this would involve you purchasing ab52615, testing it with your samples with ICC, then sharing the results with us through an Abreview. This should only take 5-10 minutes and provided invaluable information for our customers. As a reward for sharing this information with us (whether the results are positive or negative) you would then be entitled to a free primary antibody of your choice from our catalogue. The only limitation is that the whole process needs to be completed within 4 months. More information on this scheme can be found from the following link:

https://www.abcam.com/collaboratordiscount

I have generated a discount code for you:

Discount code: xxxxx


The expiration date of this code is the 24th of July 2012.

Once you have used ab52615 in your experiments please put this code in the "additional comments" box of the Abreview form. More information on how to submit an Abreview can be found from the following link:

https://www.abcam.com/abreview

Once the review has been published, the code is active and can be used against your next purchase of a primaryantibody. When placing your order for the "free"antibody please quote the discount code.

I hope this information has been of help. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Dear Tech support   One of our customers has ordered ab9474. The customer wishes to know what are the chances of the antibody working With Mouse samples? Also, is there a positive control available for this antibody? Thanks in advance for your kind help. Regards,

Answer

Thank you for your interest. It is very likely that ab9474 works in mouse but we have no data yet. According to Blast search, the homology between human and mouse AR is very high. http://www.uniprot.org/blast/uniprot/2011101050RXMELAA8 Furthermore, we have some alternative antibodies against AR in our catalogue which proved to recognize mouse AR: ab2742, ab74272, ab3509, ab52615 Normal brain, epididymis, prostate, seminal vesicle; or skin and prostate cancer can be used as good positive control. I hope this helps and if I can assist further, please do not hesitate to contact me.
