Progesterone receptor A

Isoform of the progesterone receptor

The progesterone receptor A (PR-A) is one of three known isoforms of the progesterone receptor (PR), the main biological target of the endogenous progestogen sex hormone progesterone.[1][2] The other isoforms of the PR include the PR-B and PR-C.[1][2]
