Product Information

• Name: 4-Methyl estradiol
• Synonyms: (17b)-4-Methylestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17-diol4-Methylestradiol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methyl estradiol is an estrogen that is a naturally occurring metabolite of estradiol. It has been shown to have weak estrogenic effects and may be used in low doses to treat breast cancer. 4-Methyl estradiol binds to the estrogen receptor with high affinity, which leads to its activation and subsequent translocation into the nucleus, where it binds to DNA and regulates gene transcription. The binding of 4-methyl estradiol to the receptor also stimulates the production of other hormones such as progesterone and estrone.
