General description

Estrogen receptor beta (ERβ; NR3A2 or ESR2) is a nuclear steroid receptor that has been detected in the ovary, testis, thymus, spleen, bone, brain, and kidney. It is a multidomain protein containing A/B, C, D, E, and F domains, and it is activated by estrogen, resulting in homo- or heterodimerization (with ERα). The active ERβ-estrogen complex binds to regulatory regions known as estrogen response elements on target genes; however, ERβ may also regulate transcription without a bound ligand via its activation function (AF-1) region in the A/B domain. The ERβ receptor interacts with a wide variety of proteins including transcriptional corepressors and coactivators that regulate its activity. Its expression is also regulated by hypermethylation of CpG islands in the ERβ promoter. Previous studies have reported that ERβ has anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects, and may therefore be an important therapeutic target for cancers, especially those occurring in the reproductive organs.
