Enables several functions, including POU domain binding activity; nuclear receptor activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in androgen receptor signaling pathway and cellular response to testosterone stimulus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mammary gland development; positive regulation of cell communication; and reproductive structure development. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; and rectum. Used to study Kennedy's disease; androgen insensitivity syndrome; obesity; polycystic ovary syndrome; and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
