Anti-mullerian hormone receptor type 2 transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]. Anti-mullerian hormone receptor type 2 Anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AMHR2 gene. This gene encodes the receptor for the anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) which, in addition to testosterone, results in male sex differentiation. AMH and testosterone are produced in the testes by different cells and have different effects. Testosterone promotes the development of male genitalia while the binding of AMH to the encoded receptor prevents the development of the mullerian ducts into uterus and Fallopian tubes. Mutations in
Human male sexuality with a male, and decrease the chance that the female will mate with another male. There are several strategies by which sexual coercion can be achieved. These are harassment, intimidation, and forced copulation (rape). Thornhill and Palmer's "A Natural History of Rape" investigates the evolutionary causes of sexual coercion, particularly of rape, and suggest that such behaviour is a result of sexual selection, rather than Darwinian natural selection. Of ten listed hypotheses, they accepted two reasonable hypotheses: Thornhill and Palmer argue that these two theories are the strongest of the ten for several reasons. For example, both hypothesis argue rape
