## Abstract Despite earlier detection and recent advances in surgery and radiation, prostate cancer is second only to lung cancer in male cancer deaths in the United States. Hormone therapy in the form of medical or surgical castration remains the mainstay of systemic treatment in prostate cancer.
## Abstract We previously demonstrated that ectopic expression of neurotrophic peptide (NP) derived from saposin C promotes androgen receptor (AR) expression and transactivation in human prostate cancer cells. This prompted us to investigate how NP or saposin C can function in cells. We constructed
## Abstract Androgen receptor (AR) mutations that modify both the ligand binding and the transactivation capacities of the AR represent one of the mechanisms involved in the transition of prostate cancer (PCa) from androgenโdependent to androgenโindependent growth. We use a yeastโbased functional a
