additional information | knockdown of PDI in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells with RNAi down-regulates estrogen receptor alpha protein but upregulates estrogen receptor beta protein, resulting in a drastic increase in estrogen receptor alpha/beta ratio, which is a crucial determinant of different cellular responses to estrogens. PDI can directly interact with estrogen receptor alpha, but it does not interact with estrogen receptor beta | Homo sapiens |

additional information | Homo sapiens | PDI can function as a high-capacity intracellular 17beta-estradiol-binding protein that increases the concentration and accumulation of 17beta-estradiol in live cells. The intracellular PDI-bound 17beta-estradiol can be released from PDI upon a drop in 17beta-estradiol levels and the released 17beta-estradiol can augment estrogen receptor-mediated transcriptional activity and mitogenic actions in cultured cells. The binding of 17beta-estradiol by PDI also reduces the rate of metabolic disposition of this hormone | ? | - |
