DEFINITION

Progesterone receptor (933 aa, ~99 kDa) is encoded by the human PGR gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of transcription.

DesignNote

There are two progesterone receptors isoforms, A and B. The UniProt references have isoform B as the canonical form. Isoform B is associated with the activation of SRC/MAPK signaling, which isoform A is unable to do. (UniProt)
