ER beta is a protein encoded by the ESR2 gene which is approximately 59, 2 kDa. ER beta is localised to the nucleus. It is involved in gene expression, the nuclear receptor transcription pathway, development endothelin-1/EDNRA signalling and the prolactin signalling pathway. This protein falls under the family of oestrogen receptors. It binds oestrogens and activates expression of reporter genes containing oestrogen response elements in an oestrogen-dependent manner. Oestrogen controls many cellular processes including growth, differentiation and function of the reproductive system. Oestrogen is also responsible for the growth and maintenance of the skeleton and the normal function of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. ER beta isoform 1 is expressed in testis and ovaries while isoform 2 is expressed in spleen, thymus, testis and ovaries. Mutations in the ESR2 gene may result in medullary thyroid carcinoma and de quervain disease. STJ93002 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of ER beta protein.
