Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; estrogen binding activity; and steroid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including brain development; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and reproductive structure development. Located in mitochondrion; perikaryon; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of protein-DNA complex. Used to study several diseases, including hypertension (multiple); obesity; peritonitis; prostate carcinoma in situ; and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of asthma; brain ischemia; colitis; cystitis; and osteoporosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); bone disease (multiple); hypospadias; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ESR2 (estrogen receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
