Biological Information
Background Information:
Estrogens, produced by ovaries and testis, affect growth and differentiation of many target tissues. These include the male and female reproductive tissues (mammary gland, uterus, ovary, and prostate). Estrogens have also been implicated in the physiology of the bone, cardiovascular tissues, and the brain. Two distinct estrogen receptors (ERα and ERß) bind estrogen as well as other agonists and antagonists. Estrogen receptor is a member of the super family of nuclear receptor that show a similar structure and mode of action.
