AB  - A partial estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) cDNA had been previously cloned and 
      sequenced in Japanese quail. The 3'- and 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends 
      techniques were used here to identify a cDNA sequence of the quail ERbeta that 
      contains a complete open reading frame. For the first time in an avian species, 
      this cDNA sequence and the corresponding amino acid sequence are described. They 
      are compared with the known ERbeta sequences previously described in mammals and 
      with the ERalpha sequences identified in a selection of mammalian and avian 
      species. The analysis by Northern blotting of the ERbeta mRNA expression in the 
      brain and kidneys revealed the presence of several transcripts. The presence of 
      ERbeta identified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated 
      a widespread distribution quite different from the distribution of ERalpha. The 
      complete neuroanatomical distribution of ERbeta mRNA as determined by in situ 
      hybridization with 35S- and 33P-labeled oligoprobes is also presented. 
      Transcripts are present in many nuclei implicated in the control of reproduction 
      such as the medial preoptic nucleus, the nucleus striae terminalis, and the 
      nucleus taeniae, the avian homologue of the amygdala. These data demonstrate the 
      presence of ERbeta in a nonmammalian species and indicate that the 
      (neuro)-anatomical distribution of this receptor type has been conserved in these 
      two classes of vertebrates. The role of this receptor in the control of 
      reproduction and other physiological processes should now be investigated.
