Progesterone

Progesterone (P4) is an endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species.

  • Progesterone receptor. Human progesterone receptor ligand-binding domain bound with progesterone (1a28). Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
  • Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 20-α HSD is involved in the control of progesterone level in pregnancy of mice. 17-β HSD is involved in the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone.
