Cytochrome P450 enzymes that metabolize estrogens are expressed in the
mammary gland, uterus, brain and other target tissues for estrogen action,
and this results in the formation of hydroxylated estrogens in these
tissues. Estradiol metabolites formed in target tissues at or near estrogen
receptors may either be inactive or have important biological effects, and
changes in the activities of estrogen- metabolizing enzymes in target
tissues may profoundly influence estrogen action. Although some active
estrogen metabolites exert hormonal effects in target tissues by
interaction with the classical estrogen receptor, other metabolites appear
to elicit unique biological responses that are not associated with
activation of this receptor. Therefore, some of the many actions of
estradiol may not be caused by estradiol per se, but may result from the
formation of active estrogen metabolite(s) which function as local
mediators or may activate their own unique receptors or effectors. This is
an important area in need of more research. The present paper represents a
review of the literature and perspectives by the authors on the functional
role of estrogen metabolism in target tissues.
