SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria
	intracellular,nucleus
text	is predominately located in mitochondria, and ESR2 may be associated with HADHB in mitochondria

basic FUNCTION	playing a role in tumorigenesis (lung adenocarcinoma) and modulation of the estrogen response in testis
	may be modulating mitochondrial gene expression through binding to the similar estrogen receptor element (ERE) sequences in the mitochondrial genome
	together with the ESR1, mediates many of the physiological effects of estrogens
	ESR1, ESR2 may differentially affect cellular oxidative stress through influencing the rate of beta-oxidation of fatty acids in breast cancer cells
	potential role for ESR1, ESR2 in fetal brown adipose tissue development, primarily via ESR1
	possible role of both ESR1, ESR2 in mitochondriogenesis

CELLULAR PROCESS	nucleotide, chromatin organization, remodeling
	nucleotide, transcription

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

hormonal

estrogen; large scale chromatin unfolding activity

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

binding

RNA

small molecule

protein	interact with DBC1 in a ligand-independent manner similar to ESR1
	number of factors that can interfere with ESR2 activity, such as phytoestrogens, endocrine disruptive chemicals, and growth factors
	NCOA2 interacts with ESR1, ESR2 and PGR in a subtype-specific manner, which may contribute to the functional differences of these steroid receptor subtypes in brain
	ESR1, ESR2 coordinate with MLL and MLL3 in E2-mediated transcriptional regulation of HOXB9
	many of the FOXL2/ESR2 targets are involved in cell motility and, consistently, granulosa cells depleted for either FOXL2 or ESR2 exhibit decreased migration, invasion and adhesion

cell & other

REGULATION

activated by

ARNT that functions as an estrogen receptor beta-selective coactivator

Other

expression levels are under circadian control and can be regulated by DNA methylation of the promoter region

Susceptibility

to Alzheimer disease in women to premature coronary artery disease to adult height variation in Caucasians women to osteoporosis to risk of hypospadias

Variant & Polymorphism SNP	SNP2 T/T genotype and the SNP3 T/T genotype were associated with a significant, nearly two-fold increase in the risk of Alzheimer in women
	SNP linked to adult height variation in Caucasians women
	increasing coronary artery disease
	G allele containing variants of ESR2 2681-4A>G may decrease the risk of hypospadias
