Tamoxifen is an orally active selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that acts as an estrogen antagonist in breast cells and an agonist in bone, liver, and uterine cells. It can be used to induce gene knockout and liver injury models in mice, and also exhibits multiple biological activities, including activation of Hsp90, induction of autophagy and apoptosis, and inhibition of EBOV and MARV viral infections.

Tamoxifen Citrate is an orally active selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that blocks estrogen activity in breast cells while activating estrogen signaling in cells such as those of the bone, liver, and uterus. As an Hsp90 activator, it enhances the ATPase activity of the Hsp90 chaperone complex, induces autophagy and apoptosis, and can be used to generate gene knockout models in CreER(T2) transgenic mice as well as liver injury models.
