Estrogen receptor beta and neural development

Vitamins and hormones, 2021
The female sex hormone estradiol (E2, 17β-estradiol) has important functions in the developing brain. In addition to regulating sexual differentiation of the brain, E2 participates in the development of brain areas involved in functions unrelated to reproduction, such as cognition.

Estrogen receptor alpha and beta in health and disease

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2015
Estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) are transcription factors that are involved in the regulation of many complex physiological processes in humans. Abnormal ER signaling leads to development of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic and cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and osteoporosis.

Estrogen Receptor Beta in Cancer: an Attractive Target for Therapy

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2012
While it is well documented that the mitogenic actions of estrogens are critical in the development and progression of human breast and some gynecologic cancers, only latest data demonstrate a crucial involvement of estrogen-signaling in the carcinogenesis of non-classical estrogen target tissues, as colon, prostate, lung, skin, and brain.

Antibody Validation for Estrogen Receptor Beta

2022
Antibodies can cross-react with proteins other than their intended targets, and antibody-based applications can, if not properly validated, lead to flawed interpretations. When evaluating 13 anti-estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) antibodies in 2017, we concluded that only one of them was specific.

Role of Estrogen Receptor Beta in Estrogen Action

Annual Review of Physiology, 2001
▪ Abstract  There was a time when the classification of sex hormones was simple. Androgens were male and estrogens female. What remains true today is that in young adults androgen levels are higher in males and estrogen levels higher in females. More recently we have learned that estrogens are necessary in males for regulation of male sexual behavior ...

Estrogen receptor beta expression correlates with proliferation in desmoid tumors

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2019
Estrogen receptor signaling and cyclin D1 have a major role in tumor cell proliferation in breast cancer. Desmoid tumors are rare neoplasms that may respond to endocrine treatment.

Estrogen receptor beta in breast cancer.

Endocrine-related cancer, 2002
Estrogen is essential for normal growth and differentiation in the mammary gland. It also supports growth of approximately 50% of primary breast cancers. For this reason, removal of estrogen or blocking of its action with the anti-estrogen, tamoxifen, is the main treatment for estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)-positive tumors. In 1996, when oncologists

Alfa and beta estrogen receptors and the biliary tree

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2002
This manuscript summarizes recent data showing that estrogens and their receptors play an important role in modulating cholangiocyte proliferation. We have recently demonstrated that rat cholangiocytes express both estrogen receptors (ER)-alpha and -beta subtypes, while hepatocytes only express ER-alpha.

Estrogen Receptor Beta

2002
When the discovery of ERβ was reported in 1996 [1], many endocrinologists thought that, since this receptor had gone unnoticed for so long, it must be some sort of vestigial receptor with no function in the endocrinology of estrogen. This idea was quickly dispelled when ERβ-/- mice were created and found to have severely compromised ovarian function ...
