A protein within certain cells which can bind to endogenous estrogens, phytoestrogens, or xenoestrogens. Once coupled with its estrogenic molecule, this protein communicates with other molecules and starts a process that ultimately leads to certain genes being switched on or off. The genes regulate many hormone-influenced systems.

| estrogen receptor |
A cellular protein that binds hormones, found on nearly all cell types,but particularly in estrogen-sensitive tissues like those in the uterus and the breast. The weak estrogenic qualities of soy isoflavones may function as antiestrogens because they can compete with endogenous estrogen for binding to estrogen receptors. In doing so, they block the more potent endogenous estrogens from exerting their effect. ...
