Tetrapeptides Modelled to the Androgen Binding Site of ZIP9 Stimulate Expression of Tight Junction Proteins and Tight Junction Formation in Sertoli Cells

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Androgens such as testosterone act either through the nuclear androgen receptor or through the plasma membrane-bound androgen receptor ZIP9. Androgens are crucial for male fertility. In the testis they stimulate the formation of tight junctions between Sertoli cells, thereby creating...
