Regulation by Progestins, Corticosteroids and RU486 of Activation of Elephant Shark and Human Progesterone Receptors: An Evolutionary Perspective
2021-01-27
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>We investigated progestin and corticosteroid activation of the progesterone receptor (PR) from elephant shark (<italic>Callorhinchus milii</italic>), a cartilaginous fish belonging to the oldest group of jawed vertebrates. Comparison with human PR experiments provides insights into the evolution of steroid activation of human PR. At 1 nM steroid, elephant shark PR is activated by proges...
