Estrogen receptors (ER) are a group of proteins found inside cells. They are receptors that are activated by the hormone Estrogen (17β-estradiol). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrogen_receptor)
Once activated by estrogen, the ER is able to translocate into the nucleus and bind to DNA to regulate the activity of different genes.
There are two different forms
