NCIt definition : Progesterone receptor (933 aa, 99 kDa) is encoded by the human PGR gene. This protein
is involved in the regulation of transcription.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A protein found inside the cells of the female reproductive tissue, some
other types of tissue, and some cancer cells. The hormone progesterone will bind to
the receptors inside the cells and may cause the cells to grow.;
NCIt note : 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);
