Androgen receptor, molecular model F006 / 9483
Androgen receptor. Molecular model of the DNA-binding region of an androgen receptor (pink and yellow) complexed with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, blue and red). 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 an androgen receptor, specifically focusing on its DNA-binding region. The vibrant colors highlight the complex interaction between the receptor (pink and yellow) and DNA (blue and red). Androgen receptors are a type of nuclear receptors that play a crucial role in responding to male sex hormones like testosterone or dihydrotestosterone. When these hormones bind to the androgen receptor, it undergoes translocation into the nucleus where it binds with DNA. This binding process activates genes responsible for developing male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. The significance of this mechanism is beautifully captured in this image. The white background accentuates every detail of this molecular structure, showcasing various elements such as alpha helix, beta sheet, nucleic acid strands, protein molecules, and tertiary structures. It represents a breakthrough in understanding gene regulation at a molecular level. This stunning artwork not only highlights the importance of research in medicine but also emphasizes how biochemical processes influence our genetic makeup. With its focus on cutouts against a white backdrop, it provides an engaging visual representation suitable for scientific presentations or educational purposes.
