so it makes its way into the cell and then it binds to an androgen receptor and this receptor is outside of the nucleus it undergoes this conformational change and it causes things called heat shock proteins to be dislocated they get transported into the cell and then something called the dimerization takes place and that's just a fancy way of saying a new molecule is created by the [Music] fusion and it doesn't have to be covalent it can be non-covalent but the fusion of two molecules that look very much alike so this androgen receptor dimer now makes its way into the nucleus and and binds with um kind of something called a hormone response element and that's what actually turns on and off gene transcription
