ERα and ERβ Homodimers in the Same Cellular Context Regulate Distinct Transcriptomes and Functions
The two estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ are nuclear receptors that bind estrogen (E2) and function as ligand-inducible transcription factors. They are homologues and can form dimers with each other and bind to the same estrogen-response element motifs in the DNA. ERα drives breast cancer growth where...
