Abstract excerpt
To investigate the structural requirements for recognition and response to ligands by the human estrogen receptor (hER), a series of point mutations were generated in the hormone binding domain (HBD) of the receptor using a limited formic acid treatment of its cDNA. Receptors having a reduced sensitivity to the estrogen, 17 beta-estradiol (E2), or to the antiestrogen, trans-hydroxytamoxifen, were selected from a...
