    Human oestrogen receptor cDNA: sequence, expression and homology to v-erb-A.

    Green S, Walter P, Kumar V, Krust A, Bornert JM, Argos P, Chambon P.

    We have cloned and sequenced the complete complementary DNA of the oestrogen receptor (ER) present in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7. The expression of the ER cDNA in HeLa cells produces a protein that has the same relative molecular mass and binds oestradiol with the same affinity as the MCF-7 ER. There is extensive homology between the ER and the erb-A protein of the oncogenic avian erythroblastosis virus.
