Background Descriptions | PGRMC1 is a progesterone receptor component of 195 aa with a 26 residue N terminal hydrophobic region and no N terminal glycosylation site. It has an overall homology of 50% with PGRMC2 but their C terminal regions have a 68% homology, including a highly conserved 58 residue sequence.PGRMC1 is a heme bind proteins that is up-regulated in several cancers. In breast tumors, PGRMC1 is associated with hypoxia estrogen receptor-negative status. PGRMC1 is also shown to stimulate AKT phosphorylation and is known to stabilise the EGFR receptor tyrosine kinase. |

Function | Component of a progesterone-binding protein complex (PubMed:28396637). Binds progesterone (PubMed:25675345). Has many reported cellular functions (heme homeostasis, interaction with CYPs). Required for the maintenance of uterine histoarchitecture and normal female reproductive lifespan (By similarity). Intracellular heme chaperone. Regulates heme synthesis via interactions with FECH and acts as a heme donor for at least some hemoproteins (PubMed:27599036). Forms a ternary complex with TMEM97 receptor and low density lipid receptor/LDLR, which increases LDLR-mediated LDL lipoprotein internalization (PubMed:30443021). |
Cellular Location | Microsome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q95250}; Single-pass membrane protein. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O55022}; Single-pass membrane protein; Extracellular side {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O55022} Secreted Note=Localized at cell membrane, probably in lipid rafts, in serum- starved conditions. |
Tissue Location | Detected in urine (at protein level) (PubMed:36213313, PubMed:37453717). Expressed by endometrial glands and stroma (at protein level) (PubMed:23793472). Widely expressed, with highest expression in liver and kidney. |
