Regulation by Progestins, Corticosteroids and RU486 of Activation of Elephant Shark and Human Progesterone Receptors: An Evolutionary Perspective
2021-01-21
Abstract excerpt
We investigated progestin and corticosteroid activation of the progesterone receptor (PR) from elephant shark, a cartilaginous fish belonging to the oldest group of jawed vertebrates. Comparison with human PR provides insights into the evolution of steroid activation of human PR. At 1 nM steroid, elephant shark PR is activated by progesterone, 17-hydroxy-progesterone, 20β-hydroxy-progesterone, 11-deoxycorticostero...
