| Gene Description | AR, androgen receptor, belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family, which acts as a transcription factor, resulting in either transcription or repression of specific genes (PMID: 24909511, PMID: 21784131). AR overexpression leads to ligand independent activation of AR and is common in prostate cancer (PMID: 16598769) and AR mutations and constitutively active splice variants are also commonly observed in prostate cancer (PMID: 31868960). | ||||||||||
