	ER’s specifically are located inside the nucleus of target cells. The Estrogen can diffuse through the plasma membrane as the hormone is a small hydrophobic ~~signaling~~ molecule. ER is type 1, so the receptor has a HSP(heat shock protein) associated with the inactive receptor. The steroids move into the cytoplasm and interact with the estrogen receptor, the HSP is dissociated. This causes a conformational change in the receptors that causes dissociation from chaperones and the ER forms a dimer<ref>Raegan O, Martin CF, Elinor K.K, Ulla H.Molecular ~~endicrinology~~. Issue 8, London, Endocrine Society, 1st August 2014.</ref>. The activated receptor-ligand complex is then translocated into the nucleus. This dimerization activates the ‘receptors transcriptional domain’. This dimer binds to many specific sites in the DNA estrogen response elements, which are strategically next to the genes that need to be activated. Then the DNA-bound receptor activates the DNA-reading machinery and starts the production of messenger RNA<ref>PDB 101. 1. Rcsborg.Molecule of the month- estrogen.2003. [Cited 21/11/17]. Available from: http://pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/45</ref>. The dimeric estrogen receptor can also bind directly to the DNA sequences. These specific inverted palindromic DNA sequences interact with the ER. The ER can also interact with promotors directly through a protein-protein interaction along with other DNA-binding transcription factors<ref>Khan Academy. (2017). Khan Academy. Site 21 Nov. 2017].Available at: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/gene-regulation/gene-regulation-in-eukaryotes/a/eukaryotic-transcription-factors</ref>. All routes will lead to transcriptional activation of associated genes. The ER will also need the help of coactivators and components of the basal transcriptional machinery. The ER is acting as an activating transcription factor. The enzyme RNA polymerase can now bind to the promotor region on the DNA, which makes a new RNA molecule from the DNA template. A protein will be translated and will cause changes to the cell.~~<br>~~		ER’s specifically are located inside the [[nucleus\|nucleus]] of target cells.
