Target Information

The progesterone receptor (PR) is a member of the steroid family of nuclear receptors. The PR mediates the physiological effects of progesterone, which plays a central role in reproductive events associated with the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy.
PR exists as a 94 kDa protein (Form A) and a 120 kDa protein (Form B) due to alternative translation initiation sites. PR-B is transcriptionally active and responsible for gene activation related to endometrium maintenance, pregnancy, and inhibition of ovulation.
PR-A is identical to PR-B except for a 165 amino acid deletion at the N-terminus, exposing a 140 amino acid inhibitory domain that represses steroid hormone transcriptional activity.
In its inactive state, PgR forms a multiprotein complex including heat shock proteins and immunophilins. Upon progesterone binding, the receptor undergoes conformational change, dimerizes, and binds to progesterone response elements (PRE), activating transcription.
A null mutation in the PGR gene leads to pleiotropic reproductive abnormalities.
