Estrogen receptors are a group of proteins found inside cells. They are receptors that are activated by the hormone estrogen (17β-estradiol). Two classes of estrogen receptor exist: ER which is a member of the nuclear hormone family of intracellular receptors and GPR30 which is a member of the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors.
