Estrogen regulates a plethora of functionally dissimilar processes in a broad range of
tissues. Recent progress in the study of the molecular mechanism of action of estrogen (s) …

Estrogen-containing medicines have been used successfully for the past 50 years for the
treatment of conditions associated with menopause. Although initially considered a …

Estrogens are key regulators of growth, differentiation, and the physiological functions of a
wide range of target tissues, including the male and female reproductive tracts, breast, and …

The human estrogen receptor α (ERα) and the recently identified ERβ share a high degree
of amino acid homology; however, there are significant differences in regions of these …

Vitamin D3 receptors are intracellular proteins that mediate the nuclear action of the active
metabolite 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25 (OH) 2D3]. Two receptor-specific monoclonal …

The human progesterone receptor (PR) exists as two functionally distinct isoforms, hPRA
and hPRB. hPRB functions as a transcriptional activator in most cell and promoter contexts …

Two distinct isoforms of the human progesterone receptor (hPR-A and hPR-B) have been
identified previously. They differ only in that hPR-B contains an additional 164 amino acids …

We have developed a series of in vitro models with which to evaluate the biological activity
of estrogen receptor (ER) agonists and antagonists. Using a protease digestion assay we …

Complementary DNA clones encoding the human vitamin D receptor have been isolated
from human intestine and T47D cell cDNA libraries. The nucleotide sequence of the 4605 …

Ghiţa Ionescu and Ernest Gellner (1969: 1) began their classic edited collection on populism
by paraphrasing Marx and Engel's famous opening line:'A Spectre is haunting the world …
