Abstract

Estrogen Receptor Related Receptor Alpha (ERRα) in Skeletal Tissues

Bonnelye E

Estrogen receptor related receptor alpha (ERRα) was the oldest orphan nuclear receptor with sequence identity to the estrogen receptors, ERα/β. The sequence alignment of the ERRα and the ERs reveals a high similarity (68%) in the DNA-binding domain and a moderate similarity (36%) in other parts of the proteins such as the ligand-binding E domain.
