Abstract excerpt
The estrogen receptor (ER) acts as a transcription factor to regulate multiple cellular functions involved in normal physiology, differentiation, and reproduction. To date, there is no known animal model for studying aberrant ER expression. Therefore, we created transgenic mice expressing the wild-type mouse ER under the control of the mouse metallothionein-I (MT) promoter to determine whether overexpression of...
