'''Progesterone''' | |||
== | <scene name='89/895670/Cv/7'>Progesterone</scene> (P4) is an endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species. | ||
*[[Progesterone receptor]]. <scene name='89/895670/Cv/8'>Human progesterone receptor ligand-binding domain bound with progesterone</scene> ([[1a28]]). Water molecules are shown as red spheres. | |||
*Progesterone is a negative allosteric modulator of [[nicotinic acetylcholine receptors]], and a potent antagonist of the [[mineralocorticoid receptor]]. | |||
*[[Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase]], 20-α HSD is involved in the control of progesterone level in pregnancy of mice. 17-β HSD is involved in the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. | |||
