Estrogen receptor

Scientific explanation

ERα (ESR1) drives a large fraction of breast cancers via genomic and non-genomic signalling. ESR1 mutations and growth-factor crosstalk contribute to endocrine resistance.

Cancers where relevant

Compounds that intersect this pathway

Tamoxifen

Selective estrogen- modulator that antagonizes ERα-driven in breast epithelium while retaining partial activity in some other tissues.
