Like most of biological molecules, AR functional activities are modulated by post-translational modifications. This review is focused on the reported activities and significance of AR phosphorylation, with particular emphasis on proline-directed serine/threonine phosphorylation that occurs predominantly on the receptor. The marked enrichment of AR phosphorylation in the most diverse N-terminal domain suggests that targeting AR phosphorylation can be synergistic to antagonizing the C-terminal domain by clinical antiandrogens.en-USAndrogen receptorPhosphorylationProline-directed serine/threonine phosphorylationKinasesPhosphataseJournal Article2015-05-0410.4172/1747-0862.1000075
