Abstract excerpt
The reproductive hormone, estrogen, contributes to the development of breast cancer by binding to the estrogen receptor (ER) in the nucleus, triggering cell growth and tumor promotion. In addition to its role in regulating target genes and signaling pathways involved in cell cycle progression, the ER-signaling pathway may regulate the expression of chromatin-remodeling gene, Metastasis-associated 3 (MTA3), or...
