A trinucleotide repeat in this compound's receptor leads to Kennedy's disease, also known as spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy.
A trinucleotide repeat in this compound's receptor leads to Kennedy's disease, also known as spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy. The drug flutamide competitively binds to this compound's NR3C4 receptor. A compound that is very similar to this one, delta-4 dione, is produced by theca cells. This compound can be converted into a diol via the enzyme aromatase. In 5α-reductase deficiency, this compound cannot be converted to its more potent (*) dihydro- form. This compound and one of its precursors, DHEA, are produced in Leydig cells in the presence of LH. Sertoli cells produce a binding protein for this hormone to concentrate it. A low amount of this hormone can lead to gynecomastia, the abnormal production of breast tissue. For 10 points, name this sex hormone, an androgen that promotes secondary sexual characteristics in males.
