General scheme of the processes included in the model of ER-dependent gene expression. (A) Reactions of ER dimerisation and binding with two types of ligands - natural hormone (H) and an inhibitor (I); (B) Binding of dimeric forms of receptor-ligand complexes with ERE; (C) Synthesis and degradation of mRNA (r) and protein (p). The detailed description of the scheme is given in the text.
