ââ¬ÅThe identification of steroid receptors (including AR) in the mid- 1980s led to the definition of a family of ligand-mediated transcription factors that occupy specific chromatic locus for gene regulation. The next chapter in advancements is the identification of cofactors participating chromatin remodeling, including histone writersÂ, erasersÂ, and readers that have continuously been researched up to now. Besides the well-established AR activity in mediating transcriptional activation, recent studies further revealed novel functions of AR in transcriptional repression, genomic translocation, and mTOR activation. Abnormal AR activity is associated with various pathogeneses such as male infertility, androgen-insensitivity syndrome (AIS), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), rheumatoid arthritis, hirsutism, baldness, acne, breast cancer, and prostate cancerÂ.
Journal of Steroids & Hormonal Science is an official journal of OMICS group international that publishes the articles related to androgen receptor phosphorylation.
