Did you mean Progesterone Receptor?

Glossary Progesterone Receptor

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. This receptor is crucial for regulating various reproductive processes, including the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. 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.
