Anti-Androgen Receptor antibody [AR 441],Abcam,AB9474

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.
