Non-Genomic Actions of Progesterone in the Normal and Neoplastic Mammalian Ovary

This review summarizes recent findings on the non-genomic or membrane-initiated actions of progesterone that regulate the function of the normal and neoplastic mammalian ovary. This review focuses on three receptors: the classic progesterone receptor, the membrane progesterone receptors (MPRalpha, beta, and gamma) that were initially cloned from seatrout ovaries, and a progesterone binding protein referred to as...
