Background

The progesterone Receptor (PR; NR3C3) is a member of the steroid receptor superfamily which binds progesterone. The progesterone receptor is expressed in uterus, ovary, vagina, fallopian tubes and breast. Progesterone receptors play a central role in diverse reproductive events associated with the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy, alveolar development in the breast, and sexual behavior. Two isoforms of the progesterone receptor have been identified, progesterone receptor-A (PR-A) and progesterone receptor-B (PR-B), 94 and 114 kDa in size, respectively.

The B progesterone receptor (PR-B), or long form, is 933 amino acids (aa) in length. Progesterone receptor-A (PR-A) utilizes a different start site that shortens the N-terminus by 164 amino acids. The N-terminus in both progesterone receptor isoforms is rich in serine that is phosphorylated in response to hormone binding. In the absence of progesterone, few receptor molecules are phosphorylated at Serine 190 (S190). Progesterone increases this number two-fold, providing evidence for hormone stimulation. It has been shown that the two progesterone receptor isoforms can form homodimers as well as heterodimers.

FAQs for Progesterone R/NR3C3 (DYC5415-2). (Showing 1 - 2 of 2 FAQ).

1. I am interested in getting antibodies for PR (progesterone receptor) that would work in flow cytometry. Could you recommend some choices?
   • We do not currently have any antibodies directed towards the progesterone receptor that have been validated in flow cytometry, but any of our antibodies that work in ICC should work just fine in flow as they are essentially the same application. Please see this link for our Progesterone Receptor antibodies validated in ICC.
2. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
