Abstract excerpt
Functional analysis of androgen receptor (AR) gene mutations isolated from prostate cancer has led to the identification of residues that play important roles in the structure and function of the receptor. Here we report the characteristics of a novel AR mutation A748T located in helix 5 of the ligand-binding domain, which was identified in metastatic prostate cancer. Despite a normal hormone-binding affinity,...
