CATEGORY

transcription factor , signaling hormone , receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm

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

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

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
	ovarian cycle-related Progesterone and neurosteroids regulate GABRA2 expression in the hippocampus via a non-PGR pathway, which may be relevant to menstrual-cycle related brain conditions
