Steroid hormones play essential roles in the reproductive biology of vertebrates. Estrogen exercises its effect through estrogen receptors and is not only a female reproductive hormone but acts virtually in all vertebrates, including fish, and is involved in the physiological and pathological states in all males and females. Estrogen has been implicated in mandible conservation and circulatory and central nervous systems as well as the reproductive system. This review intended to understand the structure, function, binding affinities, and activations of estrogens and estrogen receptors and to discuss the understanding of the role of sex steroid hormone estrogen receptors in mammals and fish.
类固醇激素在脊椎动物的生殖生物学中起着至关重要的作用。雌激素通过雌激素受体发挥作用,它不仅是一种雌性生殖激素,实际上在所有脊椎动物中都有作用,包括鱼类,并且涉及所有雄性和雌性的生理和病理状态。雌激素与下颌骨保护、循环系统和中枢神经系统以及生殖系统都有关系。这篇综述旨在了解雌激素和雌激素受体的结构、功能、结合亲和力及激活情况,并讨论对性类固醇激素雌激素受体在哺乳动物和鱼类中作用的理解。
