Description : The estrogen receptor (ESR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor composed of
several domains important for hormone binding, DNA binding, and activation of transcription.
Alternative splicing results in several ESR1 mRNA transcripts, which differ primarily
in their 5-prime untranslated regions. The translated receptors show less variability
(Kos et al., 2001; Flouriot et al., 2000).;
