Description
Exhibits androgen binding activity; nuclear receptor activity; and steroid hormone receptor activity. Involved in gamete generation; male courtship behavior; and male gonad development. Predicted to localize to nuclear chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; heart; male organism; nervous system; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; conduct disorder; disorder of sexual development (multiple); reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and spinal muscular atrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human AR (androgen receptor).
