Function
[ERR3_HUMAN] Orphan receptor that acts as transcription activator in the absence of bound ligand. Binds specifically to an estrogen response element and activates reporter genes controlled by estrogen response elements (By similarity).[1] [2] [3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
A receptor-binding assay and X-ray crystal structure analysis demonstrated that the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) strongly binds to human estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRgamma). BPA is well anchored to the ligand-binding pocket, forming hydrogen bonds with its two phenol-hydroxyl groups. In this study, we found that 4-alpha-cumylphenol lacking one of its phenol-hydroxyl groups also binds to ERRgamma very strongly. The 2.0 A crystal structure of the 4-alpha-cumylphenol/ERRgamma complex clearly revealed that ERRgamma's Leu345-beta-isopropyl plays a role in the tight binding of 4-alpha-cumylphenol and BPA, rotating in a back-and-forth induced-fit manner.
ERRgamma tethers strongly bisphenol A and 4-alpha-cumylphenol in an induced-fit manner.,Matsushima A, Teramoto T, Okada H, Liu X, Tokunaga T, Kakuta Y, Shimohigashi Y Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2008 Aug 29;373(3):408-13. Epub 2008 Jun 26. PMID:18582436[4]
