Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

AR is involved in transcriptional regulation and cellular proliferation and differentiation [576]. Disruption of AR in mice results in insulin (INS) and leptin (LEP) resistance, which suggests that AR may contribute to certain age-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease [1331]. Its exact role in human ageing is unknown.
