## Abstract The Gβproteinβcoupled receptors and signal transduction pathways represent important specific targets for a variety of human diseases, ranging from the control of blood pressure, allergic response, hormonal disorders and neurologic diseases to tumorigenesis. Most recently, we and others

The G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) recognize a large variety of extracellular molecules (such as hormones, neurotransmitters, growth and developmental factors) and several sensory messages (such as light, odors and pain). GPCRs and their signal transduction pathway represent important specific
## Abstract PSGR is a newly identified human prostate tissueβspecific gene belonging to the Gβprotein coupled receptor (GPCR) family. Overexpression of PSGR is associated with human prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and prostate tumors, suggesting PSGR may play an important role in early pro
Quantitative expression profile of androgen-regulated genes (ARGs) was evaluated in the hormone-responsive prostate cancer cell line LNCaP by serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). A total of 83,489 SAGE tags representing 23,448 known genes or expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and 1,655 potentially
An understanding of the natural history of changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) may be valuable as a surrogate view of prostate dynamics, as a method to differentiate between benign and malignant growth, and as a means to assess the use of PSA as a tool for monitoring activity of chemopreventi
