The Progesterone Receptor (Phospho-Ser190) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Progesterone Receptor protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated Progesterone Receptor in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Progesterone Receptor phosphorylation.

Qualitative determination of Progesterone Receptor (Phospho-Ser190) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Progesterone Receptor (Phospho-Ser190) is captured by Progesterone Receptor (Phospho-Ser190)-specific primary (1Ãƒ¸) antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary (2Ãƒ¸) antibodies bind the Fc region of the 1Ãƒ¸ antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the 2Ãƒ¸ antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1.	A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2.	Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.

UniProt Protein Function:	Function: The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Progesterone receptor isoform B (PRB) is involved activation of c-SRC/MAPK signaling on hormone stimulation. Ref.12 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.26 Ref.27Isoform A:inactive in stimulating c-Src/MAPK signaling on hormone stimulation. Ref.12 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.26 Ref.27Isoform 4:Increases mitochondrial membrane potential and cellular respiration upon stimulation by progesterone. Ref.12 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.26 Ref.27
UniProt Protein Details:	Subunit structure: Interacts with SMARD1 and UNC45A. Interacts with CUEDC2; the interaction promotes ubiquitination, decreases sumoylation, and repesses transcriptional activity. Interacts with PIAS3; the interaction promotes sumoylation of PR in a hormone-dependent manner, inhibits DNA-binding, and alters nuclear export. Interacts with SP1; the interaction requires ligand-induced phosphorylation on Ser-345 by ERK1/2 MAPK. Interacts with PRMT2. Ref.18 Ref.19 Ref.22 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.27 Subcellular location: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note: Nucleoplasmic shuttling is both homone- and cell cycle-dependent. On hormone stimulation, retained in the cytoplasm in the G1 and G2/M phases. Ref.12 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.26Isoform A: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note: Mainly nuclear. Ref.12 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.26Isoform 4: Mitochondrion outer membrane Ref.12 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.26. Domain: Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain. Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated on multiple serine sites. Several of these sites are hormone-dependent. Phosphorylation on Ser-294 occurs preferentially on isoform B, is highly hormone-dependent and modulates ubiquitination and sumoylation on Lys-388. Phosphorylation on Ser-102 and Ser-345 also requires induction by hormone. Basal phosphorylation on Ser-81, Ser-162, Ser-190 and Ser-400 is increased in response to progesterone and can be phosphorylated in vitro by the CDK2-A1 complex. Increased levels of phosphorylation on Ser-400 also in the presence of EGF, heregulin, IGF, PMA and FBS. Phosphorylation at this site by CDK2 is ligand-independent, and increases nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity. Phosphorylation at Ser-162 and Ser-294, but not at Ser-190, is impaired during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Phosphorylation on Ser-345 by ERK1/2 MAPK is required for interaction with SP1. Ref.11 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.25 Ref.26 Ref.27Sumoylation is hormone-dependent and represses transcriptional activity. Sumoylation on all three sites is enhanced by PIAS3. Desumoylated by SENP1. Sumoylation on Lys-388, the main site of sumoylation, is repressed by ubiquitination on the same site, and modulated by phosphorylation at Ser-294. Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25Ubiquitination is hormone-dependent and represses sumoylation on the same site. Promoted by MAPK-mediated phosphorylation on Ser-294. Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25Palmitoylated by ZDHHC7 and ZDHHC21. Palmitoylation is required for plasma membrane targeting and for rapid intracellular signaling via ERK and AKT kinases and cAMP generation. Ref.28 Sequence similarities: Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR3 subfamily.Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
NCBI Summary:	This gene encodes a member of the steroid receptor superfamily. The encoded protein mediates the physiological effects of progesterone, which plays a central role in reproductive events associated with the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. This gene uses two distinct promotors and translation start sites in the first exon to produce two isoforms, A and B. The two isoforms are identical except for the additional 165 amino acids found in the N-terminus of isoform B and mediate their own response genes and physiologic effects with little overlap.
