Pou ou kab vin yon alfa alkòl steroid, Methyltestosterone mare nan reseptè yo androjèn (AR). Li aji kòm yon substra pou anzim nan 5α-reductase, kon sa, transfòme nan 17α-methyl-dihydrotestosterone (mestanolone). Apre lye nan selil AR yo, esteroyid la inisye transkripsyon nan jeyografik androjèn-repons, ki responsab pou kwasans masiv ak karakteristik segondè seksyèl.

Being an alpha alkylated steroid, Methyltestosterone binds to the androgen receptors (AR). It acts as a substrate for the 5α-reductase enzyme, hence, transforming into 17α-methyl-dihydrotestosterone (mestanolone). After binding to the AR cells, the steroid initiates the transcription of androgen-responsive genes, which are responsible for massive growth and secondary sexual characteristics.
