Danio rerio
Molecular characterization of
er
α
, er
β
1
and
er
β
2
. Their binding characteristics,
transactivation and expression in selected tissues
Menuet et al. (2002)
Micropogonias undulatus
Unusual binding properties of
er
β are accompanied by highly conserved amino acid
changes in the ligand binding domain
Hawkins and Thomas (2004)
Pimephales promelas
Molecular characterization of
er
α
, er
β
1
and
er
β
2
. Ontogenic expression profi le in selected
tissues
Filby and Tyler (2005)
Fundulus heteroclitus
Cloning of

er
β
2
. Difference in levels of expression in populations exposed
to pollutants
Greytak and Callard (2007)
Dicentrarchus labrax
Characterization, cloning and expression of
er
α
, er
β
1
and
er
β
2
. Expression of
er

dph
Halm et al. (2004)
Oncorhynchus mykiss
Identifi ed
er

Nagler et al. (2007)
Paralichthys olivaceus
Successful development of an
er
α
and
er
β
-
mediated reporter gene assay using Vg
promoter as an estrogen responsive promoter
Kitano et al. (2006)
P. olivaceus
Tamoxifen-treated genetic females suppress
cyp19a
and induce
amh,
but do not affect
er
α
and
er

Kitano et al. (2007)
Oreochromis niloticus
Ontogenic expression patterns of
er
s;
er
α expression earlier than
er
β
.
Notably, the
appearance of
er
α
and
er
β
is earlier than steroidogenic enzymes
Sudhakumari et al. (2005)
