GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 10551
Species: Mus musculus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Esr1
Name: estrogen receptor 1 (alpha)
Acc ID: CHEBI:50114
Term: estrogen
Definition: A hormone that stimulates or controls the development and maintenance of female sex characteristics in mammals by binding to oestrogen receptors. The oestrogens are named for their importance in the oestrous cycle. The oestrogens that occur naturally in the body, notably estrone, estradiol, estriol, and estetrol are steroids. Other compounds with oestrogenic activity are produced by plants (phytoestrogens) and fungi (mycoestrogens); synthetic compounds with oestrogenic activity are known as xenoestrogens.
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
