GPER/GPR30 Proteins and Enzymes

GPR30 a former orphan receptor has been linked to estrogen-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase, release of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-related ligands, and specific estrogen binding.1 GPR30 acts independently of estrogen receptors, ERalpha and ERbeta, to release of heparin-binding EGF and may play a role in breast cancer tumorogenesis.
