title: [Nuclear estradiol receptors in several "non-target" organs of rats].
abstract: Some properties of the macromolecules of the KCl-extracts of the nuclei of the uterus, kidney, liver, testis and prostate, specifically binding estradiol (E2), were studied. These macromolecules of the uterus and the liver were found to be maximally extracted from chromatin by the 0.6 M KCl concentration. The capacity of the macromolecules of the uterine, kidney and liver nuclear extracts to bind E2 specifically is destroyed completely by pronase, but not by RNA-ASe and DNA-ase, pointing to the protein nature of these macromolecules. Only estrogenic compounds, but not testosterone, 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone, progesterone or corticosterone were capable to compete with H3--E2 for the E2--binding sites of the macromolecules of the nuclear extracts of all the organs investigaeted. It is assumed that macromolecules of the nuclei of the investigated nontarget organs specifically binding E2 are estrogen receptors.
