Androgen receptor, molecular model C015 / 6113
Androgen receptor. Molecular model of the DNA-binding region of an androgen receptor (purple and red) complexed with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, blue and orange). Androgen receptors are nuclear receptors that are activated by binding of either of the androgenic (male sex) hormones testosterone or dihydrotestosterone. Binding of the hormones to the androgen receptor translocates it to the nucleus where it binds DNA to switch on genes that code for the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the Androgen receptor, specifically highlighting its DNA-binding region. The vibrant colors depict the androgen receptor in purple and red, while the DNA is represented in blue and orange. Androgen receptors are vital nuclear receptors that play a crucial role in responding to male sex hormones like testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Upon binding with these hormones, the androgen receptor undergoes translocation to the nucleus where it binds with DNA. This interaction triggers a cascade of gene activation responsible for shaping male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. The black background adds an element of mystery to this scientific artwork, emphasizing its significance within biology, chemistry, endocrinology, and biochemistry fields. The structure's complexity highlights how this protein acts as a transcription factor regulating gene expression. This visually stunning illustration not only captures the essence of biochemical regulation but also serves as a reminder of our understanding of hormone function at a molecular level. It represents years of research into deciphering genetic mechanisms underlying gender development. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this image exemplifies their expertise in merging artistry with scientific accuracy. Its space-filled representation further accentuates its aesthetic appeal while providing valuable insights into DNA binding sites.
