Androgen receptor (AR), a zinc finger transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily, is activated by phosphorylation and dimerization upon ligand binding (1). This promotes nuclear localization and binding of AR to androgen response elements in the
androgen target genes. AR plays a crucial role in several stages of male development and the progression of prostate cancer (2,3).
