Oestrogen receptor α AF-1 and AF-2 domains have cell population-specific functions in the mammary epithelium

Oestrogen receptors α (ERα) are expressed in a subset of mammary epithelial cells. Here, the authors identify cells with low-ERα protein levels and show that distinct cell populations have distinct requirements for the AF1 and AF2 domains of the ERα, and ERα acts in a biphasic manner dependent on de...
