Estrogen receptor
From Proteopedia
Estrogen receptors (ER) are activated by the hormone estrogen (EST). The activated ER binds DNA and regulates the activity of many genes. There are 2 forms of ER: α and β and ER dimers can be of αα, ββ and αβ. ER is composed of 5 domains: N terminal A/B domain can transactivate transcription without binding estrogen; C domain (DBD) binds to Estrogen response elements of DNA; D domain is a hinge region; E domain is ligand binding (LBD) as well as binding the coactivator and corepressor proteins and transactivates gene transcription.
