Summary
This gene encodes a nuclear hormone receptor containing zinc finger and DNA-binding domains. The encoded protein is a key regulator of signalling by androgens, a class of steroid hormones involved in male reproductive development. The protein responds to hormone signalling by translocating to the nucleus, forming dimers, and binding to androgen response elements (AREs) in the promoters of target genes, which are subsequently transcriptionally activated. Activity of this protein is negatively regulated by nuclear receptor subfamily 0 group B member 1 (Nr0b1, also known as Dax1). Mutations in this gene result in feminized genitals and infertility in male animals. Loss of function in female animals also causes problems in reproductive development and function.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
