Estrogen Receptor α and β Heterodimers Exert Unique Effects on Estrogen- and Tamoxifen-Dependent Gene Expression in Human U2OS Osteosarcoma Cells
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
The 17beta-estradiol (E2) receptor isoforms [estrogen receptor (ER) alpha and ERbeta] bind E2 and selective ER modulators (SERMs) as homodimers (alpha/alpha or beta/beta) or heterodimers (alpha/beta) to regulate gene expression. Although recent studies have shown that ER homodimers regulate unique sets of E2-responsive genes, little information exists regarding the transcriptional actions of the ERalpha/beta...
