This gene encodes a member of the family of estrogen receptors and superfamily of nuclear receptor transcription factors. The gene product contains an N-terminal DNA binding domain and C-terminal ligand binding domain and is localized to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Upon binding to 17beta-estradiol or related ligands, the encoded protein forms homo- or hetero-dimers that interact with specific DNA sequences to activate transcription. Some isoforms dominantly inhibit the activity of other estrogen receptor family members. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been fully characterized.

Description
Specificity: ESR2 antibody detects endogenous levels of ESR2 protein. Not tested with other proteinsRelevance: Estrogen Receptor beta is a recent discovery, initially cloned and characterized from testis. Estrogen Receptor beta is highly homologous to Estrogen Receptor alpha; the ligand and DNA binding domains are highly conserved, while the amino terminus (transactivation domain), has diverged significantly. Estrogen Receptor beta binds estrogen with high affinity and regulates estrogen specific gene activation through direct interaction with estrogen response elements (EREs).
