Is it true that transplanted hair in the front may fall because there is a high concentration of DHT receptors in the scalp?

Where we can found the dht receptors, in the scalp or in the follicular unit? Is it true that the transplanted hair in the front may have fallen because there is a high concentration of dht receptors in the scalp and the hair of the back (donor hair) dont had this concentration in this side of the scalp and that's the reason why they are resistant not because the genetic reason?
