Androgen regulation of 5α-reductase isoenzymes in prostate cancer: implications for prostate cancer prevention.

Androgen regulation of 5α-reductase isoenzymes in prostate cancer: implications for prostate cancer prevention.

The enzyme 5α-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), performs key functions in the androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway. The three isoenzymes of 5α-reductase identified to date are encoded by different genes: SRD5A1, SRD5A2, and SRD5A3. In this study, we investigate...
