What Does AR Stand For?
AR stands for Androgen Receptorpar
AR, or Androgen Receptor, refers to a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding to androgens, such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression associated with various physiological functions, including development, reproductive processes, and metabolism. Dysregulation of the androgen receptor is implicated in several medical conditions, including prostate cancer and androgen insensitivity syndrome, making it a significant focus of research in endocrinology and oncology.
