NCIt definition : The therapeutic form of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone. Progesterone
binds to the progesterone receptor, resulting in dissociation of heat shock proteins,
receptor phosphorylation, and transcription activation through direct or indirect
interaction with transcription factors. This agent exerts inhibitory effects on estrogens
by decreasing the number of estrogen receptors and increasing its metabolism to inactive
metabolites. Progesterone induces secretory changes in the endometrium, decreases
uterine contractility during pregnancy, and maintains pregnancy.;
