ABMIUM target intelligence

AR

androgen receptor

Androgen receptor (AR; NR3C4) is a ligand-activated nuclear steroid receptor and transcription factor that converts androgen signals into gene-regulatory programmes. This catalogue-backed ABMIUM record links human AR (NCBI Gene 367; UniProt P10275) to research reagents.

About AR

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

Androgen receptor (AR) binds androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, undergoes conformational activation and nuclear translocation, dimerises and binds androgen-response elements to regulate transcription. It controls androgen-responsive gene programmes involved in cellular growth, differentiation and tissue-specific physiology.

Experimental context

Research context

AR is studied in androgen signalling, steroid-receptor transcription, nuclear-receptor co-regulation and hormone-responsive cell biology. Use the catalogue links below to assess species, assay format, application and product-level validation for each ABMIUM reagent.
