Background

ER alpha (Estrogen receptor alpha; also Estradiol receptor and NR3A1) is a 65‑70 kDa member of the NR3 subfamily, nuclear hormone receptor family of proteins. It is widely expressed, and serves as a strong activator of estrogen-responsive genes. ER alpha is normally quiescent and bound to heat-shock proteins and immunophilins. Following beta -estradiol binding, it becomes activated, either homodimerizes or heterodimerizes with ER beta , and binds to DNA with multiple coactivators. Human ER alpha is 595 amino acids (aa) in length, and contains a DNA binding region (aa 185‑250), three NLSs (aa 256‑260; 266‑271; 299‑303), a steroid‑binding site (aa 351‑543), a dimerization motif (aa 497‑518), and an O-GlcNAc attachment around Thr575. Major phosphorylation sites exist at Tyr537, Ser167 and Ser118.
