Nuclear Estrogen Receptors in Prostate Cancer: From Genes to Function

Abstract excerpt

Estrogens are almost ubiquitous steroid hormones that are essential for development, metabolism, and reproduction. They exert both genomic and non-genomic action through two nuclear receptors (ERα and ERβ), which are transcription factors with disregulated functions and/or expression in pathological processes.
