Overview

ESRRG (Estrogen-Related Receptor Gamma), also known as ERRγ or NR3B3 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group B Member 3), is an orphan nuclear receptor that functions as a transcriptional regulator of metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cellular energy homeostasis. It is encoded by the ESRRG gene located on chromosome 1q41 (1q41), spanning approximately 50 kb and consisting of 13 exons. ESRRG is a member of the estrogen-related receptor (ERR) subfamily of nuclear receptors, which includes [ESRRA](/genes/esrra) (ERRα) and [ESRRB](/genes/esrrb) (ERRβ) [@handschin2005].

Unlike classical steroid hormone receptors, ERRγ does not bind natural estrogens with high affinity and is considered an orphan receptor. However, it shares structural features with estrogen receptors and can regulate similar target genes involved in energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and cellular survival. ESRRG is widely expressed in tissues with high metabolic demand, including brain, heart, skeletal muscle, and kidney [@schreiber2003].
