Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables nuclear receptor activity and nuclear steroid receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including paracrine signaling; progesterone receptor signaling pathway; and tertiary branching involved in mammary gland duct morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in axon terminus; dendritic spine; and perikaryon. Predicted to be active in nucleus and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; lung; mammary gland; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in endometriosis; hyperprolactinemia; and obesity. Orthologous to human PGR (progesterone receptor).
