Anti-mullerian hormone receptor type 2 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 this gene are associated with persistent Mullerian duct syndrome type II. Alternatively spliced
Human male sexuality Human male sexuality Human male sexuality covers physiological, psychological, social, cultural, and political aspects of the human male sexual response and related phenomena. It encompasses a broad range of topics involving male sexual desires and behavior that have also been addressed by ethics, morality, and religion. There are a number of factors that influence male sexuality and sexual behaviour, including expected parental investment, and paternal presence during development. Elizabeth Cashdan proposed that mate strategies among both genders differ depending on how much parental investment is expected of the male, and provided research support for her hypotheses. When men expect to
