PGR (Progesterone receptor) is a nuclear receptor, a type of receptor protein that directly interacts with DNA to affect gene expression upon ligand binding. PGR is activated by the hormone progesterone, a steroid and sex hormone. Widely expressed in female reproductive tissues, activation of PGR is critical for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy and in the development of the mammary glands. PGR is also expressed in the central nervous system, modulating innervation by dopaminergic neurons. Overexpression of PGR is often found in breast, ovarian and uterine cancers, and PGR is one of the three major receptors assessed when classifying breast tumors.

-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10.0 µg/mL is suggested. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration of 1.25 μg/mL is recommended. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.25 - 1.0 µg/mL. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
This product does not recognize mouse progesterone receptor in Western blot.
This product only recognizes PGR Isoform B.
For immunocytochemistry, fixation with Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801) followed by permeabilization with 0.5% Triton-X is recommended. Fixation with Fixation Buffer followed by permeabilization with 100% methanol, or fixation with 100% methanol are not recommended. - RRID
