ESR2 is a nuclear transcription factor that belongs to the estrogen receptor family. ESR2 polymorphisms have been linked to anorexia nervosa, blood pressure, breast cancer and endometrial tumors. Rabbit Anti-ESR2 antibody recognizes canine, human, mouse, rat, pig, and bovine ESR2.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human ESR2
Application
Rabbit Anti-ESR2 antibody can be used for western blot applications at a dilution of 1μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
ESR2 is a member of the family of estrogen receptors and superfamily of nuclear receptor transcription factors. The gene product contains an N-terminal DNA binding domain and C-terminal ligand binding domain and is localized to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Upon binding to 17beta-estradiol or related ligands, the encoded protein forms homo- or hetero-dimers that interact with specific DNA sequences to activate transcription. Some isoforms dominantly inhibit the activity of other estrogen receptor family members. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been fully characterized.

We investigated the association between a dinucleotide (cytosine-adenine; CA) repeat polymorphism located in the flanking region of the human estrogen receptor beta (ESR2) gene and systemic blood pressure in 187 healthy postmenopausal Japanese women. The genotype was classified as "A"

We hypothesized that variations in the ESR2 gene may influence estrogen exposure in the uterus and thus influence endometrial cancer risk. We validated and screened for variants in the ESR2 gene and examined whether they are associated with endometrial cancer

Estrogen is involved in both normal mammary development and in breast carcinogenesis. A family history of disease and exposure to estrogen are major risk factors for developing breast cancer. Estrogen exerts its biological effects through binding to the estrogen receptors
There is significant evidence for genetic factors in the susceptibility to anorexia nervosa (AN). Previously genetic variation in the estrogen receptor 2 gene (ESR2) has been studied, however no strong evidence of association with AN has been found. In the
