Estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERR-gamma), also known asNR3B3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group B, member 3), is anuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the ESRRG (EStrogen Related Receptor Gamma)gene.[5][6][7] It behaves as a constitutive activator of transcription.[8]
Different expression of ERR-γ in different parts of the body may account for variations in bisphenol A effects. For instance, ERR-γ has been found in high concentration in theplacenta, explaining reports of high bisphenol A accumulation there.[11]
