What is the Role of Progesterone Receptors in the Uterus?
In the uterus, PRs play a pivotal role in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy. By modulating gene expression, PRs influence processes such as endometrial proliferation, differentiation, and implantation of the embryo. They are essential for preparing the endometrium for potential pregnancy and for maintaining the uterine environment necessary for fetal development.
