ER-X

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from ERX)

ER-X is a membrane-associated receptor that is bound and activated by 17α-estradiol and 17β-estradiol and is a putative membrane estrogen receptor (mER).[1][2][3] It shows sequence homology with ERα and ERβ and activates the MAPK/ERK pathway.[3] The receptor is insensitive to the antiestrogen ICI-182,780 (fulvestrant).[3]
