Sucrose density gradient sedimentation profiles of ERα and ERβ.
(a) ERα was from the cytosol of MCF7 cells (⧫) and
uteri of ovariectomized rats (▵). ERβ (○) was
503 aa from extracts of SF9 cells expressing this protein.
(b) Prostate cytosols were from rats that were 6
(○), 8 (◊), 10 (●), and 12
(▵) weeks of age. (c) Prostate cytosol was
from 9-week-old rats. Tritiated ligands: a and
b, 10 nM E2; c, 5 nM
tritiated 3βAdiol with (−) and without (×) 5 nM radioinert
E2.
