Interactions between progesterone receptor isoforms in myometrial cells in human labour

1 Sept 2001

Abstract excerpt

Progesterone acts to maintain uterine quiescence during pregnancy. In contrast to many other species, no decrease in maternal serum levels of progesterone can be observed in humans before the onset of labour. Therefore, a 'functional' progesterone withdrawal in association with labour has been proposed. In humans the progesterone receptor (PR) exists in two isoforms, PR-A and PR-B. While PR-B generally mediates...
