    basic FUNCTION
  • progesterone receptor
  • PR-A acting as a transcriptional repressor
  • PR-B as an activator required for normal mammary development in the puberty
  • involved in regulation of TRPV4 expression by progesterone
  • nuclear receptor transcription factor that is essential for female fertility, in part due to its control of oocyte release from the ovary, or ovulation
  • mediates the effects of progesterone by association with a range of coregulatory proteins and binding to specific target sequences in progesterone-regulated gene promoters
  • in ovarian granulosa cells, PGR may act as an inducible coregulator for constitutively bound Sp1/Sp3 transcription factors, which are key regulators for a discrete cohort of ovulatory genes

    protein
  • NCOA2 interacts with ESR1, ESR2 and PGR in a subtype-specific manner, which may contribute to the functional differences of these steroid receptor subtypes in brain
  • coregulator function of MAGEA11 extends to isoform-specific regulation of PGR during the cyclic development of the human endometrium
  • TNFSF11 is a direct PGR target gene and STAT5A has a novel role as a cofactor in PGR-mediated transcriptional signaling in the mammary gland
  • ARID1A positively regulates KLF15 expression with PGR to inhibit epithelial proliferation at peri-implantation
