title: Differential expression of the estrogen receptor-related receptor gamma in the mouse brain.
abstract: To elucidate estrogen functions, the expression of the estrogen receptor-related receptor ERRgamma, a novel orphan nuclear receptor regulating transcription via estrogen responsive elements, has been localized by in situ hybridization in adult murine brain. ERRgamma transcripts were abundantly present in the isocortex, the olfactory system, cranial nerve nuclei and major parts of the coordination centers, e.g. reticular formation and major parts of the extrapyramidal motor systems. In addition, ERRgamma expression was detected in trigeminal ganglion neurons. ERRgamma distribution was clearly distinguished from that described for ERRalpha, for ERRbeta, and for estrogen receptors (ER) pointing at functional differences between ERRgamma and these receptors.
