Estrogen receptor
Estrogen receptors
(
ERs
) are a group of
proteins
found inside and on cells. They are
receptor
s that are activated by the
hormone
estrogen
(
17ß-estradiol
). Two classes of ER exist:
nuclear estrogen receptors
(
ERa
and
ERß
), which are members of the
nuclear hormone
family of
intracellular
receptors, and
membrane estrogen receptors
(mERs) (
GPER
(GPR30),
ER-X
, and
G
q
-mER
), which are mostly
G protein-coupled receptors
. This article refers to the former (ER).
