Abstract excerpt
The estrogen receptor (ER) exists in two known forms, ERalpha and ERbeta, and acts as a ligand-inducible transcription factor to fulfill critical roles in reproductive physiology. Although in vitro studies suggest the ERs may play redundant roles, a dissimilar tissue distribution indicates otherwise. Therefore, to gain insight into the role of each ER form, individual lines of mice lacking each respective...
