    protein that binds estrogen and influences various biological processes

    Estrogen Receptor Beta (ERβ) is one of the two main types of receptors that bind to the hormone estrogen, the other being Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα). ERβ is involved in regulating various biological processes, including reproductive functions, bone density, and even hair growth. It plays a crucial role in mediating the effects of estrogen in different tissues, and its activity can influence conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs.
