Anti-Progesterone Receptor Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:IHC651)-Ready to Use

Progesterone Receptor (PR), also known as NR3C3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 3), is an intracellular steroid receptor which mediates the physiological effects of progesterone, a female sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis. Progesterone receptor expression has been linked to the prediction of prognosis in breast cancer, as well as associated responses to endocrine therapy. The progesterone receptor has also been linked to risk for ovarian cancer. Protein function: The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Depending on the isoform, progesterone receptor functions as transcriptional activator or repressor. [The UniProt Consortium]
