摘要
Estrogen receptors (ERs) belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily, whose members include ER-alpha 66, ER-alpha 36, ER-alpha 46 and ER-beta. Each receptor performs specific functions through binding with a specific ligand, such as estrogen. Recently, ER-alpha 36, a novel variant of human estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha), was identified and cloned. ER-alpha 36 inhibits, in a dominant-negative manner, the transactivation of both the wild-type ER-alpha (ER-0.66) and ER-P. As a predominantly membrane-based ER, ER-alpha 36 mediates nongenomic estrogen signaling and is involved in the resistance of breast cancer to endocrine therapy, i.e., tamoxifen. This review summarizes recent studies on the structure and function of ER-alpha 36 and the relationship of ER-alpha 36 with cancer, with special emphasis on its function in the resistance of breast cancer to endocrine therapy.
