products description :
Mouse anti Human estrogen alpha antibody, clone 6F11 recognizes the human estrogen receptor alpha chain (ERalpha), also known as the estradiol receptor or nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group A member 1. ERalpha is a ~65kDa steroid hormone receptor containing an N-terminal AF-1).ligand independent transactivation domain, a DNA binding domain and a C-terminal ligand binding domain which overlaps with an AF-2 domain. ERalpha binds to DNA as a homodimer (Klinge 2001) and can also form heterodimers with Estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) The detection of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors using immunohistochemical staining of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue, has gradually replaced ligand binding assays, to become the most common method for the determination of the ER/PR status of breast tumors (Yaziji et al. 2008). Approximately 75% to 80% of breast tumors have estrogen and/or progesterone receptors, and the presence of these receptors helps determine both the patients prognosis and the effectiveness of hormonal therapy (Bhargava et al. 2012). Mouse anti human estrogen alpha antibody, clone 6F11 has been used successfully for identification of ERalpha on breast cancer cell lysates using Western blotting and for the immunohistochemical detection of ERalpha in breast cancer tissues (Ambroise et al. 2011).

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes an estrogen receptor, a ligand-activated transcription factor composed of several domains important for hormone binding, DNA binding, and activation of transcription. The protein localizes to the nucleus where it may form a homodimer or a heterodimer with estrogen receptor 2. Estrogen and its receptors are essential for sexual development and reproductive function, but also play a role in other tissues such as bone. Estrogen receptors are also involved in pathological processes including breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and osteoporosis. Alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing result in dozens of transcript variants, but the full-length nature of many of these variants has not been determined.
