Summary
| Description |
English: Diagram 1- Testosterone, shown in this image as T, outside of a cell containing androgen receptors and 5a-reductase (5a-r), an enzyme which converts T to DHT. AR stands for androgen receptor, which binds to both T and DHT.
Diagram 2 - Testosterone (T) inside the cell, going one of two pathways, shown by numerals I and II. (I) T does not bind to the enzyme 5a-reductase (5a-R) and simply binds to the androgen receptor (AR), where it will later be transported into the nucleus. (II) T binds with the enzyme 5a-R, becoming DHT (indicated by the descending arrow). From there, DHT binds to the AR and will be transported to the nucleus. |
