AR

Executive summary

AR (androgen receptor, HGNC:644) is an X-linked nuclear hormone receptor and transcription factor that mediates androgen signaling across virtually all tissues, making it one of the most clinically consequential genes in human biology. It is a definitive cause of androgen insensitivity syndrome and Kennedy disease (X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy), with roughly ~300 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants catalogued in ClinVar out of ~1,053 total entries. AR is among the most structurally characterized human proteins, with 94 experimental X-ray structures in the PDB. It is a major validated drug target with over 100 molecules in ChEMBL, led by enzalutamide (310 clinical trials) and bicalutamide (160 trials), primarily for castration-resistant prostate cancer. Its interaction network is exceptionally large (~5,158 STRING interactions), featuring key partners such as HSP90, FOXA1, and CTNNB1, and it directly regulates 50 downstream genes including KLK3 and NKX3-1.

Drug & pharmacology data

AR (androgen receptor, HGNC:644) is a major validated drug target with over 100 targeting molecules in ChEMBL. The AR protein (UniProt P10275) is the primary target for prostate cancer therapeutics and other endocrine disorders.

Targeting molecules

Total count: 100+ molecules in ChEMBL (CHEMBL1871 curated target for single-protein AR).

Clinical trials

Comprehensive trial data indexed in biobtree:

  • Enzalutamide: 310 clinical trials (most extensively studied AR antagonist)
  • Bicalutamide: 160 clinical trials
  • Enobosarm: 15 clinical trials
  • Nilutamide: 10 clinical trials

Top therapeutic areas: Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), metastatic prostate cancer, advanced cancer, muscle-wasting disorders, hormone-dependent cancers.

Pharmacogenomics

Known drug-gene interactions:

  • Bicalutamide × HLA-DRB1: PharmGKB variant annotation indicating HLA-DRB1 association with drug response/adverse effects (hypersensitivity risk)
  • AR polymorphisms: CAG repeat length in AR gene associated with variable AR signaling and response to AR-targeting drugs; longer repeats correlate with reduced transcriptional activity and altered drug efficacy in prostate cancer

Dosing guidelines: Standard dosing based on indication and renal/hepatic function; no AR genotype-based dose adjustments currently established in major clinical guidelines, though AR CAG repeat polymorphisms are being investigated as biomarkers for therapy response stratification.

Based on the biobtree query results, I can provide limited expression profile information for the AR gene, though the available databases in this system have constrained detailed expression data:

Expression profiles

Tissue Expression

Based on Bgee database mapping:

  • Expression breadth: Ubiquitous (expressed across 250+ tissues/conditions)
  • Maximum expression score: 97.53/100
  • Expression pattern: Broadly distributed across the human body

The AR gene shows widespread expression consistent with its role as a nuclear hormone receptor involved in androgen signaling across multiple tissue types. Tissue-specific enrichment data (GTEx, HPA tissue rankings) is not available in the current query results.

Cell Type Expression

Single-cell expression data available:

  • Datasets: 3 high-quality scRNA-seq experiments (Single Cell Expression Atlas)
    • E-MTAB-10855: 74,404 cells from human milk/mammary gland (lactation)
    • E-MTAB-10885: 28,628 cells comparing lactating vs non-lactating breast tissue
    • E-MTAB-9841: 92,071 cells from mammary epithelial cells

Cell types documented:

  • Mammary gland epithelial cells (primary in available datasets)
  • AR is not listed as a top marker gene in these mammary-specific datasets, indicating moderate to low expression in this particular tissue context

Single-Cell Expression

Notable datasets of interest:

DatasetCell CountTissueFocus

E-MTAB-1088528,628Breast tissueLactating vs non-lactating comparison
E-MTAB-984192,071Mammary epitheliumMammary differentiation

Note: Comprehensive tissue-specific expression rankings (top 30 tissues) and cell-type expression scores from standard databases (GTEx, HPA, Tabula Sapiens) are not directly available in the current biobtree query results. These would typically be found in dedicated expression portals (HPA browser, GTEx portal, Bgee web interface).
