Summary:Analysis of soluble proteins from human genital skin fibroblasts by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveals an abundant protein doublet of mol. wt 56,000 with isoelectric points (pI) of 6.7 and 6.5. This protein is absent in non-genital skin fibroblasts as well as in genital skin fibroblasts of most patients with complete forms of androgen insensitivity. The protein specifically binds androgen. A protein of similar estimated molecular weight (58,000) from human genital skin fibroblasts has recently been found to be covalently radiolabelled by the affinity ligand dihydrotestosterone 17 beta -bromoacetate (DHT-DA).
