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).

    Isosilybin A
    Inhibitor 99.63%
    Isosilybin A is a PPARγ agonist that can be isolated from silymarin. Isosilybin A activates extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of apoptosis through targeting of the Akt-NF-kB-AR axis. Isosilybin A can relieve the inflammatory response in the rosacea model via inhibiting Erk and p38 signaling pathways and M1 macrophage polarization, with its targets related to RELA and VEGFA. Isosilybin A has anti-prostate cancer (PCA) activity[1][2][3].
