There is evidence that bisphenol A functions as a
xenoestrogen by binding strongly to ERR-γ. BPA binding to ERR-γ preserves its basal constitutive activity. Different expression of ERR-γ in different parts of the body may account for variations in bisphenol A effects. For instance, ERR-γ has been found in high concentration in the
placenta, explaining reports of high bisphenol A accumulation there. == References ==
