Functions of MAPR (Membrane-Associated Progesterone Receptor) Family Members As Heme/Steroid-Binding Proteins
1 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1), PGRMC2, neudesin, and neuferricin all contain a cytochrome b5-like heme/steroid-binding domain and belong to the membrane-associated progesterone receptor (MAPR) family. Their amino acid sequences are well conserved among vertebrates, from humans to zebrafish. MAPR family genes are abundantly expressed in the central nervous system and exhibit neurotrophic...
