Acting via the estrogen receptor (ER), estradiol exerts pleomorphic effects on the uterus, producing cyclical waves of cellular proliferation and differentiation in preparation for embryo implantation. In the classical pathway, the ER binds directly to an estrogen response element to activate or repress gene expression. However, emerging evidence supports the existence of nonclassical pathways in which the...
