A recombinant fragment (within amino acids 600-920) of human AR protein (AR-V7 specific) was used as the immunogen for the recombinant Androgen Receptor V7 antibody.
AR V7 belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. It contains the nuclear receptor DNA binding domain. Steroid hormone receptors are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate the expression of eukaryotic genes affecting cell proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. The activity of transcription factors is regulated by binding co-activators and co-repressors. This target is a splice variant of the androgen receptor that lacks the C-terminal androgen-binding site. AR-V7 plays an important role in the occurrence, development and drug resistance of prostate cancer.
