Molecular forms of the estrogen receptor in breast cancer
摘要:
Estrogen receptors (ERs) of which two isoforms have been identified (α and β) are subjected to phosphorylation, glycozylation, ubiquitination and other post-transcriptional conformational changes giving rise to a very high molecular heterogeneity. Partial proteolysis of these receptors, as well as their high tendency to associate within oligomeric structures, reinforces this property. Investigations demonstrated that this heterogeneity is not a biochemical artefact suggesting some biological relevance. Our purpose was to review this topic, especially with regard to ERα from breast cancers.
