The uterine and vascular actions of estetrol delineate a distinctive profile of estrogen receptor α modulation, uncoupling nuclear and membrane activation
Abstract Estetrol (E4) is a natural estrogen with a long half‐life produced only by the human fetal liver during pregnancy. The crystal structures of the estrogen receptor α (ERα) ligand‐binding domain bound to 17β‐estradiol (E2) and E4 are very similar, as well as their capacity to activate the two...
