Mutated human androgen receptor gene detected in a prostatic cancer patient is also activated by estradiol.
1 Dec 1995
Abstract excerpt
Androgens are necessary for the development of prostatic cancer. The mechanisms by which the originally androgen-dependent prostatic cancer cells are relieved of the requirement to use androgen for their growth are largely unknown. The human prostatic cancer cell line LNCaP has been shown to contain a point mutation in the human androgen receptor gene (hAR), suggesting that changes in the hAR may contribute to...
