Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Hydroxytamoxifen (4-HT) is the active metabolite of tamoxifen which binds estrogen receptors (ER) and estrogen-related receptors (ERR) with estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects. It is a cell permeable, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). In Cas9 variants engineered with ligand-dependent inteins 4-Hydroxytamoxifen was used control Cas9 function, which reduced off target effects in CRISPR-mediated gene editing.
