Abstract excerpt
The biological effects of estrogens are largely mediated through estrogen receptors (ERs), which belong to the nuclear receptor gene family of transcription factors. ER-alpha36 has been recently identified as a new variant of ERalpha, but its expression and roles in female reproduction system remain unknown. Immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy were employed to observe ER-alpha36 distribution in mouse...
