Diagram of the human androgen receptor gene
Schematic diagram of the human androgen receptor gene
Black areas = trans-activation domains; P = proline directed phosphorylated Ser residues; HSP = heat shock protein; pKC = protein kinase C; pKA = protein kinase A; MAPK = mitogen-activated protein kinase; DNA-Dep Kin = DNA-dependent kinase; Ser-Pro = serine-proline directed kinase; Cas-Kin II = casein kinase II.

Prostatic epithelium was obtained when wild-type or Tfm epithelium was recombined with wild-type stroma. Recombination of wild-type or Tfm epithelium...
