4-Hydroxytamoxifen - 4-OHT activates Ras/Erk pathway (Jan/16/2007 )

hi,
It is said in a paper that 4-OHT activates Ras/ Erk pathway without affecting other signaling pathways. Have you ever used 4-OHT or have you ever heard about it?
I have done some search but could not find anything regarding the above information.
Thanks in advance. wacko.gif

well ack during my cell cycle course, i hearded that Tamoxifen which was the drug my mother took for breast cancer, was an inhibitor of the TgfB receptor.
I may have a look at this point but i don't know further...

we once constructed plasmids with hydroxytamoxifen inducible promotors...(now using doxycyclin activatable promotors)

tamoxifen binds competitively to estrogen receptors and has itself a 100-fold lower stimulatoty effect on estrogen receptor than estrogen
