Abstract
Estrogen membrane actions are triggered after estrogens are bound to a variety of membrane proteins. Those include: ion channels, other ligand receptors, and specific plasma membrane estrogen receptors. Some of the estrogen binding sites have different affinities and therefore, respond to distinct estrogen concentrations ([1–[4).
