Title: The Estrogen-Induced Effects on Myometrium Are the Result of Activation of Two Different Receptor Types: GPER and ERα.

GPER is associated with normal and abnormal estrogen-dependent proliferations in female tissues and is involved in generation of rapid estrogenic answers. A very important fact is that GPER-induced genomic effects are additive to those mediated by "classic" estrogen receptors, but regarding the rapid effects, as we prove in this study, these can be significant different or even antagonistic.Read More
