Esr1 - estrogen receptor 1

Enables several functions, including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit binding activity; promoter-specific chromatin binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipid; regulation of neuron death; and reproductive structure development. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; perikaryon; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study several diseases, including Parkinsonism; infertility; obesity; pleurisy; and prostate disease (multiple). Biomarker of cryptorchidism; osteoporosis; and ovarian cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); bone disease (multiple); breast cancer (multiple); type 2 diabetes mellitus; and vitiligo. Orthologous to human ESR1 (estrogen receptor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
