The Estrogen Receptor-alpha (Phospho-Tyr537) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Estrogen Receptor-alpha protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated Estrogen Receptor-alpha in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Estrogen Receptor-alpha phosphorylation.

Qualitative determination of Estrogen Receptor-alpha (Phospho-Tyr537) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Estrogen Receptor-alpha (Phospho-Tyr537) is captured by Estrogen Receptor-alpha (Phospho-Tyr537)-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.

Sub Type:Phospho
UniProt Protein Function:Function: Nuclear hormone receptor. The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Ligand-dependent nuclear transactivation involves either direct homodimer binding to a palindromic estrogen response element (ERE) sequence or association with other DNA-binding transcription factors, such as AP-1/c-Jun, c-Fos, ATF-2, Sp1 and Sp3, to mediate ERE-independent signaling. Ligand binding induces a conformational change allowing subsequent or combinatorial association with multiprotein coactivator complexes through LXXLL motifs of their respective components. Mutual transrepression occurs between the estrogen receptor (ER) and NF-kappa-B in a cell-type specific manner. Decreases NF-kappa-B DNA-binding activity and inhibits NF-kappa-B-mediated transcription from the IL6 promoter and displace RELA/p65 and associated coregulators from the promoter. Recruited to the NF-kappa-B response element of the CCL2 and IL8 promoters and can displace CREBBP. Present with NF-kappa-B components RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50 on ERE sequences. Can also act synergistically with NF-kappa-B to activate transcription involving respective recruitment adjacent response elements; the function involves CREBBP. Can activate the transcriptional activity of TFF1. Also mediates membrane-initiated estrogen signaling involving various kinase cascades. Isoform 3 is involved in activation of NOS3 and endothelial nitric oxide production. Isoforms lacking one or several functional domains are thought to modulate transcriptional activity by competitive ligand or DNA binding and/or heterodimerization with the full length receptor. Isoform 3 can bind to ERE and inhibit isoform 1. Ref.17 Ref.19 Ref.24 Ref.30 Ref.31 Ref.33 Ref.36 Ref.44 Ref.46 Ref.47 Ref.48 Ref.52 Ref.63 Ref.65 Ref.70 Ref.75 Ref.77 Ref.78 Ref.80
UniProt Protein Details:

Subunit structure: Binds DNA as a homodimer. Can form a heterodimer with ESR2. Isoform 3 can probably homodimerize or heterodimerize with isoform 1 and ESR2. Interacts with FOXC2, MAP1S, SLC30A9, UBE1C and NCOA3 coactivator

By similarity. Interacts with EP300; the interaction is estrogen-dependent and enhanced by CITED1. Interacts with CITED1; the interaction is estrogen-dependent.

Subcellular location: Isoform 1: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note: A minor fraction is associated with the inner membrane. Ref.6 Ref.22 Ref.48 Ref.59 Ref.64 Ref.77 Ref.79Isoform 3: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note: Associated with the inner membrane via palmitoylation

Probable. At least a subset exists as a transmembrane protein with a N-terminal extracellular domain. Ref.6 Ref.22 Ref.48 Ref.59 Ref.64 Ref.77 Ref.79Nucleus. Golgi apparatus. Cell membrane. Note: Colocalizes with ZDHHC7 and ZDHHC21 in the Golgi apparatus where most probably palmitoylation occurs. Associated with the plasma membrane when palmitoylated. Ref.6 Ref.22 Ref.48 Ref.59 Ref.64 Ref.77 Ref.79

Tissue specificity: Widely expressed. Isoform 3 is not expressed in the pituitary gland. Ref.19

Domain: Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain. The modulating domain, also known as A/B or AF-1 domain has a ligand-independent transactivation function. The C-terminus contains a ligand-dependent transactivation domain, also known as E/F or AF-2 domain which overlaps with the ligand binding domain. AF-1 and AF-2 activate transcription independently and synergistically and act in a promoter- and cell-specific manner. AF-1 seems to provide the major transactivation function in differentiated cells.

Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated by cyclin A/CDK2 and CK1. Phosphorylation probably enhances transcriptional activity. Self-association induces phosphorylation. Dephosphorylation at Ser-118 by PPP5C inhibits its transactivation activity. Ref.10 Ref.14 Ref.16 Ref.26 Ref.46 Ref.72Glycosylated; contains N-acetylglucosamine, probably O-linked. Ref.23Ubiquitinated. Deubiquitinated by OTUB1. Ref.71Dimethylated by PRMT1 at Arg-260. The methylation may favor cytoplasmic localization. Ref.64Palmitoylated (isoform 3) Not biotinylated (isoform 3) Ref.22 Ref.79Palmitoylated by ZDHHC7 and ZDHHC21. Palmitoylation is required for plasma membrane targeting and for rapid intracellular signaling via ERK and AKT kinases and cAMP generation, but not for signaling mediated by the nuclear hormone receptor. Ref.22 Ref.79

Polymorphism: Genetic variations in ESR1 are correlated with bone mineral density (BMD). Low BMD is a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture. Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mineral density, disrutption of bone microarchitecture, and the alteration of the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone. Osteoporotic bones are more at risk of fracture.

Involvement in Disease: Estrogen resistance (ESTRR) [MIM:615363]: A disorder characterized by partial or complete resistance to estrogens, in the presence of elevated estrogen serum levels. Clinical features include absence of the pubertal growth spurt, delayed bone maturation, unfused epiphyses, reduced bone mineral density, osteoporosis, continued growth into adulthood and very tall adult stature. Glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia and lipid abnormalities may also be present.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.88 Ref.93

Miscellaneous: Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), such as tamoxifen, raloxifene, toremifene, lasofoxifene, clomifene, femarelle and ormeloxifene, have tissue selective agonistic and antagonistic effects on the estrogen receptor (ER). They interfere with the ER association with coactivators or corepressors, mainly involving the AF-2 domain.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR3 subfamily.Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.

NCBI Summary:This gene encodes an estrogen receptor, a ligand-activated transcription factor composed of several domains important for hormone binding, DNA binding, and activation of transcription. The protein localizes to the nucleus where it may form a homodimer or a heterodimer with estrogen receptor 2. Estrogen and its receptors are essential for sexual development and reproductive function, but also play a role in other tissues such as bone. Estrogen receptors are also involved in pathological processes including breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and osteoporosis. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants, which differ in their 5' UTRs and use different promoters. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
