The membrane estrogen receptor GPR30 mediates cadmium-induced proliferation of breast cancer cells

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential metal that is dispersed throughout the environment. It is an endocrine-disrupting element which mimics estrogen, binds to estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha), and promotes cell proliferation…
