Abstract excerpt
The estrogen receptor variant lacking exon 5 (ERdeltaE5) encodes a truncated protein that lacks the hormone-binding domain and has been suggested to be responsible for the estrogen-independent growth of human breast tumors and resistance to antiestrogen therapy. The biological function of the ERd...
