östrogenreceptor
Estrogen receptors are proteins found within cells that bind to estrogen, a group of steroid hormones. When estrogen binds to these receptors, it triggers a cascade of events that influence gene expression and cellular function. There are two main types of estrogen receptors, ER alpha (ESR1) and ER beta (ESR2). These receptors are found in various tissues throughout the body, including the reproductive organs, bones, brain, and cardiovascular system, playing crucial roles in development, reproduction, and maintaining homeostasis.
The binding of estrogen to its receptor typically leads to the receptor's translocation into the cell nucleus,
Estrogen receptors and their interactions are significant in both normal physiological functions and in various disease
