'''Progesterone receptor''' (PR) binds to DNA and inhibits transcription. It is [[Nuclear receptors|nuclear receptor]]. The inhibition terminates when progesterone binds to PR.  The ovarian steroid progesterone which is essential for breast development and reproductive behavior, is mediated by PR<ref>PMID:19072517</ref>.
