This is a little hard to grasp, but just because a phytochemical interacts with an estrogen receptor doesn't mean it has estrogen
AGONISTIC effects.
Moreover, the orphan receptor Tie1 has been suggested to be involved in Ang2
agonistic effects on Tie2 (ref.
As an alternative test for receptor specificity, we applied the 5 - HT3 receptor agonist CPG, which induced an increase in intracellular calcium in 5 - HT3AGFP cells;
the agonistic effect was blocked by ODS (n = 5, t (4) = 20.55, p < 0.0001 paired Student's t test; Fig. 4D, H).
