General description
Progesterone receptor (PGR) belongs to the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor family of ligand-activated transcription factors. It contains many functional domains: the amino-terminal AF1 region, the central DNA-binding domain (DBD) and the carboxyl-terminal ligand-binding domain (LBD).
Immunogen
Progesterone receptor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Progesterone receptor (PGR) functions as a transcription factor which modulates the transcription of target genes in response to progesterone and other hormones. It is phosphorylated on multiple sites and at times the phosphorylation changes according to the hormone involved. In the absence of hormones, PGR is complexed with heat shock proteins. When the ligand binds, it causes the release of PGR from heat shock proteins. It is then translocated to the nucleus where it binds to its DNA response elements (SREs) and to the components of the transcription machinery. PGR also binds to chromatin templates and results in chromatin remodeling adjacent to the PGR-binding sites.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
