Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A recently identified mechanism allowing prostate cancer (PCa) cells to grow in the absence of androgens is the expression of constitutively active, C-terminally truncated androgen receptor (AR) variants lacking vast parts of the ligand-binding domain. These AR variants termed ARΔLBD are either products of alternative splicing, point mutations leading to premature stop codons or proteolytic cleavage of...
