Human oestrogen receptor cDNA: sequence, expression and homology to v-erb-A

Nature. 1986 Mar;320(6058):134-9. doi: 10.1038/320134a0.

Abstract

We have cloned and sequenced the complete complementary DNA of the oestrogen receptor (ER) present in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7. The expression of the ER cDNA in HeLa cells produces a protein that has the same relative molecular mass and binds oestradiol with the same affinity as the MCF-7 ER. There is extensive homology between the ER and the erb-A protein of the oncogenic avian erythroblastosis virus.
