A specific receptor protein has been demonstrated for 5α-androstane-3α, 17α-diol in cytoplasmic extracts of normal and hyperplastic canine prostates. The receptor molecule, with a sedimentation coefficient of 4–5S, has been identified by the use of sucrose gradient centrifugation of tissue fractions which had been labelled in vitro with tritiated 5α-androstane-3α, 17α-diol. The receptor showed a relatively high affinity for this compound whereas binding could not be demonstrated with other labelled C19 steroids. In addition binding of tritiated 5α-androstane-3α, 17α-diol was not affected by the presence of 50-fold excesses of other C19 steroids.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
