About Esr2

Chromosome 12: 76,167,193-76,224,033 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001005.3

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 277 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 141 phenotypes.

Summary

Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hormone-mediated signaling pathway; nervous system development; and reproductive structure development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart mesentery; limb segment; and mammary gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); hypospadias; neurodegenerative disease (multiple); and ovarian dysgenesis 8. Orthologous to human ESR2 (Estrogen Receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
