Characterization of the calf uterine androgen receptor and its activation to the deoxyribonucleic acid-binding state.

abstract：:Using a Leydig tumor cell line (MA-10) transiently transfected with the human lutropin receptor (hLHR) and mutants thereof, we examined the identity of the G proteins activated by the agonist-engaged hLHR-wild type (wt) and by three of its naturally occurring constitutively active mutants. Two of the mutants examined,...
