Progesterone receptor (PR) is a member of the steroid/thyroid hormone-retinoid receptor superfamily of ligand-activated nuclear transcription factors.
The development, differentiation, and maintenance of female reproductive tissue depends heavily on progesterone receptor.The ability of the progesterone receptor to bind to a wide range of ligands results in a wide range of transcriptional responses, including full agonism, full antagonism, and several mixed profiles in between. Progesterone receptors, such as progesterone, cause the PR ligand binding domain (LBD) to change its conformation, which in turn controls subsequent gene regulatory cascades.
Human PR-A and PR-B are two different types of progesterone receptors that mediate the biological response to progesterone in humans.
