Androgen receptors are important in evaluating the potential effects of chemical substances on the hormonal system.
Androgen receptors are cellular proteins to which testosterone and other androgenic hormones bind, and as a result of this binding, many biological processes in the body are regulated, especially processes related to reproduction and sexual development. Chemical substances can disrupt hormone regulation by interacting with these receptors and can act as endocrine disruptors. Within the framework of the KKDIK Regulation, the effects of chemical substances on such hormone receptors are evaluated and tests can be performed to determine potential health risks.
