Identification of the yeast ARG-11 gene as a mitochondrial ornithine carrier involved in arginine biosynthesis.

abstract：:Expression of androgen receptor (AR) in prostate epithelial cells is thought to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. However, the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We report that re-expression of AR in PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line resulted in upregulation of IFI16 protein, a negative ...
