Difference between Estrogen receptor and Selective estrogen receptor modulator

Estrogen receptor vs. Selective estrogen receptor modulator

Estrogen receptors (ERs) are a group of proteins found inside cells. Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are a class of drugs that act on the estrogen receptor (ER).

Similarities between Estrogen receptor and Selective estrogen receptor modulator

Estrogen receptor and Selective estrogen receptor modulator have 26 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antiestrogen, Breast cancer, Clomifene, Coactivator (genetics), Conjugated estrogens, Corepressor, Diethylstilbestrol, DNA-binding domain, Endogeny (biology), Endometrial cancer, Endothelium, Estradiol, Estrogen, Estrogen receptor alpha, Estrogen receptor beta, Ethamoxytriphetol, Fulvestrant, Intracellular, Nuclear receptor, Osteoporosis, Phosphoinositide 3-kinase, Phosphorylation, Protein dimer, Raloxifene, Tamoxifen, Transcription (biology).

Antiestrogen

Antiestrogens, also known as estrogen antagonists or estrogen blockers, are a class of drugs which prevent estrogens like estradiol from mediating their biological effects in the body.

Coactivator (genetics)

A coactivator is a type of transcriptional coregulator that binds to an activator (a transcription factor) to increase the rate of transcription of a gene or set of genes.
