Androgen Receptor

Androgen receptor (AR) is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding of either of the androgenic hormones testosterone or dihydrotestosterone in the cytoplasm and then translocating into the nucleus. Upon binding the hormone ligand, the receptor dissociates from accessory proteins, translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes, and then stimulates transcription of androgen responsive genes. The androgen receptor is most closely related to the progesterone receptor, and progestins in higher dosages can block the androgen receptor. The main function of the androgen receptor is as a DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates gene expression. Androgen regulated genes are critical for the development and maintenance of the male sexual phenotype. Mutations in this gene are also associated with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS).

    Sialorphin TFA
    Sialorphin TFA is a neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and aminopeptidase N (APN) inhibitor that responds to androgen signals. Sialorphin TFA blocks the degradation of endogenous opioid peptides and interacts with μ-, δ-, κ-opioid receptors. Sialorphin TFA regulates the ERK/mTOR signaling pathway by inducing cell cycle arrest, enhancing ERK1/2 activity, and reducing the phosphorylation levels of mTOR, 4E-BP1, p70S6K; accordingly, Sialorphin TFA exhibits antiproliferative activity against colorectal cancer, glioma and prostate cancer cells without cytotoxicity. In addition, Sialorphin TFA also produces antinociceptive responses, regulates sexual behavior, relaxes corpus cavernosum smooth muscle, and alleviates experimental colitis. Sialorphin TFA is also a copper (II) ion-binding ligand. Sialorphin TFA has been used in mechanistic studies related to cancer, pain management and inflammatory bowel disease.
