Schematic of intracellular mechanisms underlying E2 effects on sexual and social behavior, energy homeostasis, and many other brain-mediated functions. Most of these functions occur as a result of gene transcription elicited by binding of E2 to the classic ERα and ERβ. The newly characterized mER (Qiu et al., 2006) that seems to mediate some of the effects of E2 on energy homeostasis opens new possibilities in the investigation of the role of E2 in normal physiology.
