Putative functional characteristics of human estrogen receptor-beta isoforms.
Estrogen receptors (ERalpha and ERbeta) are clearly multifaceted in terms of structure and function. Several relatively abundant ERbeta isoforms have been identified, which can be differentially expressed in various tIssues. In order to provide insight into the possible role of the ERbeta family in breast tIssue a study of the putative functions of the human (h) ERbeta1, hERbeta2 and hERbeta5 i...
متن کاملExpression of wild-type estrogen receptor beta and variant isoforms in human breast cancer.
It has been shown in previous studies that a variety of estrogen receptor (ER) beta mRNA transcripts are expressed in human breast cancer cell lines and tumors. To complement the RNA expression studies, we have developed ER-beta-specific antibodies to characterize ER-beta protein expression in breast cancer cell lines and tumors. Monoclonal antibodies were made against a peptide representing th...
متن کاملEstrogen Receptor Beta Expression in Melanomas Versus Dysplastic Nevi
Dear Editor-in-ChiefMalignant melanoma is a tumor arising from melanocyte; this tumor rarely occurs before puberty, with higher mortality rate in males and better survival rate in female patients affected by metastatic melanoma (1, 2). These facts propose that a relationship and association may exist between estrogens and melanoma. The effects of estrogens are mediated by...
متن کاملDifferential Ligand Binding Affinities of Human Estrogen Receptor-α Isoforms
Rapid non-genomic effects of 17β-estradiol are elicited by the activation of different estrogen receptor-α isoforms. Presence of surface binding sites for estrogen have been identified in cells transfected with full-length estrogen receptor-α66 (ER66) and the truncated isoforms, estrogen receptor-α46 (ER46) and estrogen receptor-α36 (ER36). However, the binding affinities of the membrane estrog...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of a novel estrogen receptor-beta isoform.
A new level of complexity has recently been added to estrogen signaling with the identification of a second estrogen receptor, ERbeta. By screening a rat prostate cDNA library, we detected ERbeta as well as a novel isoform that we termed ERbeta2. ERbeta2 contains an in-frame inserted exon of 54 nucleotides that results in the predicted insertion of 18 amino acids within the ERbeta hormone-bindi...
