Biological function summary
ERβ influences development reproduction and cell differentiation. It may function as part of a receptor complex interacting with other members of the nuclear receptor family to modulate transcription of target genes. The receptor plays a role in modulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Its presence in various tissues suggests it has a broad function potentially affecting both normal development and pathology much like its counterpart Estrogen Receptor alpha.
Pathways
ERβ plays significant roles in the endocrine signaling and cell signaling pathways. It works within these systems to mediate responses to estradiol and similar compounds such as 2-hydroxyestradiol and coumestrol. It interacts notably with the MAPK signaling pathway contributing to transcriptional regulation and cellular responses. ERα another estrogen receptor often accompanies ERβ as both receptors mediate the biological effects of estrogens sharing several signaling partners and target genes.
