Molecular activity of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) at estrogen receptors. When a SERM binds to the estrogen receptor, the receptor adopts a unique conformation that allows dimerization and interaction with estrogen response elements (EREs) of the target genes. The unique conformational change induced by binding of the SERM may result in a distinct pattern of cofactor recruitment. Reprinted with permission from Elsevier [43].
