Description

Vertebrates have multiple estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes which facilitate transcriptional activity of genes when activated by estrogenic ligands. Teleost fish have 3 distinct estrogen receptor subtypes, including ERα, ERβ, and a unique type, ERγ. Each subtype has a different binding affinities to many estrogenic compounds, but their subsequent transcriptional regulatory mechanisms are not wellknown1. The focused species of the project is Micropogonias undulatus, the Atlantic Croaker.
