DNA encoding novel estrogen receptor
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to isolated DNA encoding novel estrogen receptors, the proteins encoded by said DNA, chimeric receptors comprising parts of said novel receptors and uses thereof.
1. An isolated DNA encoding a human estrogen receptor protein having an N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a ligand-binding domain, wherein said protein comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:5, the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6, the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:21 and the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:25.
2. An isolated DNA encoding a human estrogen receptor protein having an N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a ligand-binding domain, wherein said DNA comprises a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:20 and the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:24.
3. A recombinant expression vector comprising the DNA according to claim 1 .
4. A cell transfected with the expression vector according to claim 3 .
5. The cell according to claim 4 , which is a stable transfected cell line that expresses the human estrogen receptor protein.
6. A recombinant expression vector comprising the DNA according to claim 2 .
7. A cell transfected with the expression vector according to claim 6 .
8. The cell according to claim 7 , which is a stable transfected cell line that expresses the human estrogen receptor protein.
