Background: Estrogen receptor-beta, referred to as ESR2, is a member of the superfamily of nuclear receptors, which can transduce extracellular signals into transcriptional responses. This gene is mapped to 14q and comprises 8 exons spanning approximately 40 kb. ESR2 is expressed in multiple tissues, including developing spermatids of the testis and in ovarian granulosa cells. ESR-beta is homologous to the previously identified ESR-alpha and has an overlapping but nonidentical tissue distribution. The DNA-binding domain of ESR-beta is 96% conserved compared to ESR, and the ligand-binding domain shows 58% conserved residues. ESR-beta is expressed in human thymus, spleen, ovary, and testis. Rat ESR-beta is expressed in rat prostate and ovary and is homologous to rat ESR(95% conserved DNA-binding domain; 55% conserved ligand-binding domain). ESR2 mRNA was coexpressed with ESR1 and its splice variants in 60% of prolactinomas, 100% of mixed growth hormone /prolactin tumors, and 29% of gonadotroph tumors. ESR2 gene expression was not limited to ESR1-positive tumor subtypes, however, and was also found in 100% of null cell tumors, 80% of somatotroph tumors, and 60% of corticotroph tumors.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the family of estrogen receptors and superfamily of nuclear receptor transcription factors. The gene product contains an N-terminal DNA binding domain and C-terminal ligand binding domain and is localized to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Upon binding to 17beta-estradiol or related ligands, the encoded protein forms homo- or hetero-dimers that interact with specific DNA sequences to activate transcription. Some isoforms dominantly inhibit the activity of other estrogen receptor family members. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been fully characterized.

Uniprot Description
ER-beta: a nuclear hormone receptor and transcription factor. Binds and activated by estrogen. Regulates gene expression and affects cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Binds estrogens with an affinity similar to that of ER-alpha, and activates expression of reporter genes containing estrogen response elements (ERE) in an estrogen-dependent manner. Eight alternatively-spliced isoforms have been described. Isoform beta-cx lacks ligand binding ability and has no or only very low ERE binding activity resulting in the loss of ligand-dependent transactivation ability.

Product Notes
The ESR2 esr2 (Catalog #AAA175427) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Estrogen Receptor beta antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Estrogen Receptor beta can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ESR2 esr2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Estrogen Receptor beta, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
