The estrogen receptor (ER) is a transcription factor involved in steroid hormone signal transduction in higher eukaryotes. The receptor also functions as a ligand-dependent transcriptional activator when introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast), which suggests that at least some of
The estrogen receptor (ER) is a strong hormone-inducible transcription factor that regulates the expression of many genes. It was shown for the human progesterone receptor that the binding of hormone causes distinct conformational changes in the ligand binding domain (LBD)

We have determined an X-ray crystal structure for the N-methyl iodide derivative of the nonsteroidal contraceptive centchroman. The pendant aromatic substituents on C-3 and C-4 of the chroman system are nearly perpendicular to the plane of the chroman system, an

This report describes the identification of a negative regulator of estrogen and progesterone receptor function. Using a reconstituted estrogen-responsive transcription system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have identified a "repressor function," which when mutated, increases the transcriptional activity of the estrogen
Tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, nafoxidine, 17 beta-oestradiol and ICI 164,384 were all found to protect rat liver nuclei against Fe(III)-ascorbate dependent lipid peroxidation. The order of effectiveness of these compounds was 4-hydroxytamoxifen > 17 beta-oestradiol > nafoxidine > tamoxifen > ICI 164,384.
