Difference between Estrogen insensitivity syndrome and Estrogen receptor

Estrogen insensitivity syndrome vs. Estrogen receptor

Estrogen insensitivity syndrome (EIS), or estrogen resistance, is a form of congenital estrogen deficiency or hypoestrogenism which is caused by a defective estrogen receptor (ER) – specifically, the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) – that results in an inability of estrogen to mediate its biological effects in the body. Estrogen receptors (ERs) are a group of proteins found inside cells.

Similarities between Estrogen insensitivity syndrome and Estrogen receptor

Estrogen insensitivity syndrome and Estrogen receptor have 29 things in common (in Unionpedia): Androgen receptor, Aromatase, Aromatase deficiency, Aromatase excess syndrome, Breast cancer, Clomifene, Conjugated estrogens, Diethylstilbestrol, Endometrium, Estradiol, Estrogen, Estrogen receptor alpha, Estrogen receptor beta, Estrone, Ethinylestradiol, Gene, GPER, Granulosa cell, Mammary gland, Mutation, Nuclear receptor, Osteoporosis, Prostate, Protein, Raloxifene, Sexual maturity, Tamoxifen, Transactivation, Transcription (biology).

Androgen receptor

The androgen receptor (AR), also known as NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4), is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding any of the androgenic hormones, including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the cytoplasm and then translocating into the nucleus.

Aromatase

Aromatase, also called estrogen synthetase or estrogen synthase, is an enzyme responsible for a key step in the biosynthesis of estrogens.

Aromatase deficiency

Aromatase deficiency is a very rare condition characterised by the extremely low or absence of the enzyme aromatase activity in the body.

Aromatase excess syndrome

Aromatase excess syndrome (AES or AEXS), also sometimes referred to as familial hyperestrogenism or familial gynecomastia, is a rare genetic and endocrine syndrome which is characterized by an overexpression of aromatase, the enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of the estrogen sex hormones from the androgens, in turn resulting in excessive levels of circulating estrogens and, accordingly, symptoms of hyperestrogenism.
