Progesteron receptors (PRs) are nuclear hormone receptors of the NR3C class, which also inculdes mineralocorticoid, glucocorticoid and androgen receptors. They exist as homodimers coupled to Hsp90 or HMGB proteins, which are shed upon activation. The major signaling pathway used by progesterone receptors is via direct DNA binding and transcriptional regulation of target genes. They can also signal by binding to other proteins, mainly with transcription factors such as NF-kappaB, AP-1 or STAT. Progesterone receptors are found in the female reproductive tract, mammary glands, brain and pituitary fland and receptor expression is induced by estrogen. Well established functions of progesterone receptores include ovulation, implantation, mammary gland development and maintenance of pregnancy. In addition, progesterone, signaling through the progesterone receptor, increases the ventilatory response of the respiratory center to carbon dioxide and decreases arterial and alveolar PCO2 in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and druing pregnancy. The human gene encoding the progesterone receptor has been localized to 11q22.Synonyms: NR3C3, Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Member 3, PGR, PR
