Specificity |  | Monoclonal Estrogen Receptor (ER) antibody clone CO1531 is directed against the beta form of estrogen receptor. Like other steroid hormone receptors, Estrogen Receptors are intracellular proteins. Estrogen Receptors play an important role in regulating mammary gland growth and differentiation.
Breast tumors that are ER positive may also show a more favorable response to anti-estrogen therapies.
