Figure 2
Schematic representation of the androgen receptor (gene and protein) major domains and phosphorylation sites. Exon1 codes for NTD; exons 2 and 3 code for DBD; exon 4 for hinge; and exons 5, 6, 7 and 8 for LBD. All the AR splice variants share similarity with the NTD and DBD. Introduction of cryptic exons due to exon skipping or alternative splicing results in unique regions.
