Abstract
The present invention relates to a nucleic acid aptamer molecule that includes a domain that binds to an estrogen receptor, molecular complexes that include the nucleic acid aptamer molecule and an estrogen receptor, and constructed DMA molecules and expression systems, as well as host cells, that the contain an RNA aptamer molecule of the invention. Use of these aptamers and encoding constructs to inhibiting estrogen receptor activity in a cell and to treat estrogen receptor-positive cancers is also described.
