    GlossaryAndrogen Receptor mRNA

    carries genetic instructions to produce the androgen receptor protein

    Androgen Receptor mRNA (AR mRNA) is the messenger RNA that carries the genetic instructions from DNA to produce the androgen receptor protein. This protein binds to androgens, which are hormones like testosterone, and plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of male characteristics, as well as in conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss).
