    Glossary Androgen Receptor Gene

    encodes a protein that binds male hormones like testosterone

    The Androgen Receptor Gene (AR Gene) is a gene located on the X chromosome that encodes the androgen receptor, a protein that binds to androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. This receptor plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of male characteristics, and mutations in the AR gene can lead to conditions such as androgen insensitivity syndrome and contribute to hair loss disorders like androgenetic alopecia.
