Mechanisms of transcriptional activation of estrogen responsive genes in breast cancer cells
Estrogen receptor (ER) acts as a ligand-activated transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes. The genomic mechanisms of ER action include ligand-induced dimerization of ER which binds estrogen responsive elements (EREs) in the promoters of target genes. There are also nongenomic mec...
