GlossaryProgesterone Receptor (PR)

protein in cells that binds to the hormone progesterone

The Progesterone Receptor (PR) is a protein found inside cells that binds to the hormone progesterone.

In the context of hair and alopecia, PRs can influence hair growth cycles and are a target for treatments aimed at conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
