Progesterone receptor, PR, Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 3, PGR, NR3C3
Product description
This gene encodes a member of the steroid receptor
superfamily. The encoded protein mediates the physiological effects
of progesterone, which plays a central role in reproductive events
associated with the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy.
This gene uses two distinct promotors and translation start sites
in the first exon to produce two isoforms, A and B. The two
isoforms are identical except for the additional 165 amino acids
found in the N-terminus of isoform B and mediate their own response
genes and physiologic effects with little overlap. The location of
transcription initiation for isoform A has not been clearly
determined.1) Geradts, J., et al. Cancer Invest. 28(9):969-977(2010)
