Schematic representation of the transcript variants and isoforms of ESR2 gene evaluated in this study. a Three primer pairs were used to amplify the ESR2 variants. Primer pair 1, in bold, amplifies five ESR2 transcript variants (a, b, d, f, k and l), representing the isoforms ERβ1, ERβ2 and ERβ4. Primer pair 2, highlighted in dark grey, amplifies the transcript variants a and g (ERβ1 and ERβ5). Primer pair 3, highlighted in light grey, amplifies the variants b, l and k (ERβ2). b The ESR2 transcript variants are indicated by letters, followed by the correspondent isoforms.
