Peroxidase activity (PA) and progesterone receptors (PgR) in normal rat mammary glands. 1983

R Seshadri, and A P Banerji, and P N Shah

PA and PgR appear to be reliable markers of estradiol action in normal female rat mammary glands, as seen by simultaneous expression of both proteins between the ages of 61 and 131 days. However, expression of PA at certain periods, when PgR was undetectable suggests, that the extent of availability of both estradiol and progesterone at target sites may act as controlling factors in synthesis of one protein over another.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.

D004967 Estrogens Compounds that interact with ESTROGEN RECEPTORS in target tissues to bring about the effects similar to those of ESTRADIOL. Estrogens stimulate the female reproductive organs, and the development of secondary female SEX CHARACTERISTICS. Estrogenic chemicals include natural, synthetic, steroidal, or non-steroidal compounds.
