As of 2026-09-13

Estrogen receptor beta shows approved-linked disease relevance led by breast cancer. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 3 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt Q92731. Start with breast cancer, then reuse UniProt Q92731 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
breast cancer

Estrogen receptor beta shows approved-linked disease relevance led by breast cancer. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 3 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with breast cancer because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include AUS-131, ESTRAMUSTINE PHOSPHATE SODIUM, RALOXIFENE HYDROCHLORIDE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
