Target Details for Progesterone Receptor

Target: Progesterone Receptor (PGR)

Alternative Name: PGR

Background:

Synonyms: Progesterone receptor,PR,Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 3,PGR,NR3C3,

Tissue Specificity: Highly expressed in placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and brain. Weakly expressed in brain, kidney and liver. In placenta, expressed on the apical plasma membrane of endothelium. In lung, expressed in alveolar epithelium. Up-regulated in colorectal tumors and expressed in 25 % of early oral squamous cell carcinomas. .

Background: The progesterone receptor (PR) is an intracellular steroid receptor that specially binds progesterone in humans. PR has been a member of the steroid receptor superfamily. It is encoded by a single PGR gene residing on chromosome 11q22. The PGR gene uses separate promoters and translational start sites to produce 2 isoforms, PRA and PRB, which are identical except for an additional 165 amino acids present only in the N terminus of PRB. It can be observed in human breast tissues. The proteins function as dimeric molecules in nuclei to regulate the transcription of target genes in a ligand-responsive manner.

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR3 subfamily.

Molecular Weight: 36 kDa

UniProt: P06401
