    Functional Characterization of a Genetic Polymorphism in the Promoter of the ESR2 Gene

    The ESR2 gene encodes the estrogen receptor beta protein. Several studies have shown that genetic variants in the ESR2 gene are associated with a variety of clinical phenotypes. However, very little is known abou...

    Endoxifen (4-hydroxy-N-desmethyl-tamoxifen) has anti-estrogenic effects in breast cancer cells with potency similar to 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen

    Tamoxifen is an effective drug for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. It is extensively metabolized by the human cytochrome P450 enzyme system into several metabolites. Of these, 4-hydroxy-tamoxife...
