Estrogen-related receptor beta

Estrogen-related receptor beta (ERR-β), also known as NR3B2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group B, member 2), is a is_associated_with::nuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the ESRRB (EStrogen Related Receptor Beta) is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a protein with sequence similarity to the is_associated_with::estrogen receptor, a member of nuclear hormone receptor family of is_associated_with::steroid hormone receptors. Its function is unknown; however, a similar protein in mouse plays an essential role in is_associated_with::placental development.
