Target data

Function

Nuclear hormone receptor. Binds estrogens with an affinity similar to that of ESR1/ER-alpha, and activates expression of reporter genes containing estrogen response elements (ERE) in an estrogen-dependent manner (PubMed:20074560). Isoform 2. Lacks ligand binding ability and has no or only very low ERE binding activity resulting in the loss of ligand-dependent transactivation ability.

Specificity

Estrogen receptors (ER) are members of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. Estrogen receptors, including ER-alpha and ER-beta, contain DNA binding and ligand binding domains and are critically involved in regulating the normal function of reproductive tissues. They are located in the nucleus, though some estrogen receptors associate with the cell surface membrane and can be rapidly activated by exposure of cells to estrogen. ER-alpha and ER-beta are differentially activated by various ligands. Receptor-ligand interactions trigger a cascade of events, including dissociation from heat shock proteins, receptor dimerization, phosphorylation and the association of the hormone activated receptor with specific regulatory elements in target genes. Evidence suggests that ER-alpha and ER-beta may be regulated by distinct mechanisms even though they share many functional characteristics.

Activity summary

The estrogen receptor beta 1 also known as ERβ or NR3A2 is a type of nuclear hormone receptor. It plays a role in modulating gene expression in response to estrogens. ERβ has an approximate mass of 59 kDa and is expressed in a variety of tissues including the ovary prostate and brain. It differs from estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in terms of distribution and function within the body.

Biological function summary

Estrogen receptor beta 1 functions as a transcription factor modulating various gene expressions in response to estrogen binding. It forms a complex with coactivators or corepressors to regulate its activity. ERβ is known for balancing the proliferative effects that ERα often promotes thereby maintaining cellular homeostasis in various tissues. It contributes to processes like bone density maintenance lipid metabolism and neural differentiation.

Pathways

The activity of estrogen receptor beta 1 is integrated into the estrogen signaling pathway. It interacts with proteins such as ERα and other nuclear receptors to mediate hormonal responses. This receptor is also part of the MAPK pathway which is important for cell proliferation and differentiation. The balance between ERβ and ERα signaling pathways is key for cellular response to estrogens influencing various physiological outcomes.

Associated diseases and disorders

Estrogen receptor beta 1 has associations with conditions such as breast cancer and osteoporosis. A decreased ratio of ERβ to ERα often links to more aggressive forms of breast cancer where ERβ acts as a counterbalance to the proliferative signals of ERα. In osteoporosis ERβ’s role in bone density can impact disease progression especially when estrogen levels fluctuate post-menopause. Understanding the balance between ERβ and ERα in these diseases could be useful in developing targeted ERβ activators or inhibitors as therapeutic strategies.

    Western blot: Anti-ESR2 antibody [ERb455] (ab187291) staining at 1 ug/ml, shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab187291 was shown to bind specifically to ESR2. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution. We were not able to detect the endogenous ESR2 due to low target expression and sensitivity limit of the antibody. Further optimization might be needed for detecting endogenous ESR2.
