Androgen Signaling Pathway

Meaning

The Androgen Signaling Pathway is the biological cascade initiated by androgen hormones binding to their specific intracellular receptors, leading to gene transcription and subsequent physiological effects. This pathway is central to male sexual development and maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics. Clinically, dysregulation is implicated in conditions ranging from prostate cancer progression to certain aspects of metabolic health.
