Partial purification of a putative membrane bound androgen binding protein in the dog cauda epididymis.
1. An androgen binding protein(s) has been partially purified from cell plasma membranes of dog epididymides. 2. The protein(s) has a pI of 5.3 and an association constant of (1.13 x 10(9) M-1). 3. Conclusive demonstration of androgen receptors in epididymal plasma membranes would be of significance in understanding epididymal physiology.
