Abstract excerpt
A precise description of the mechanisms by which estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) exerts its influences on cellular growth and differentiation is still pending. Here, we report that the differentiation of PC12 cells is profoundly affected by ERalpha. Importantly, depending upon its binding to 17beta-estradiol (17betaE2), ERalpha is found to exert different effects on pathways involved in nerve growth factor...
