Different Regions in Activation Function-1 of the Human Estrogen Receptor Required for Antiestrogen- and Estradiol-dependent Transcription Activation
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
The human estrogen receptor (ER) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that contains two transcriptional activation functions, one located in the NH2-terminal region of the protein (AF-1) and the second in the COOH-terminal region (AF-2). Antiestrogens, such as trans-hydroxytamoxifen (TOT), have partial agonistic activity in certain cell types, and studies have implied that this agonism is AF-1-dependent. We...
