Membrane-associated progesterone receptor component 2 (PGRMC2)
The protein contains 223 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 23818 Da.
Required for the maintenance of uterine histoarchitecture and normal female reproductive lifespan (By similarity). May serve as a universal non-classical progesterone receptor in the uterus (Probable). Intracellular heme chaperone required for delivery of labile, or signaling heme, to the nucleus (By similarity). Plays a role in adipocyte function and systemic glucose homeostasis (PubMed:28111073). In brown fat, which has a high demand for heme, delivery of labile heme in the nucleus regulates the activity of heme-responsive transcriptional repressors such as NR1D1 and BACH1 (By similarity).

CLONING
Using the sequence of a porcine progesterone receptor as probe, Gerdes et al. (1998) cloned PGRMC2, which they designated DG6. The deduced protein contains 223 amino acids and has an N-terminal hydrophobic region. It has no N-glycosylation site. PGRMC2 shares about 50% identity overall with PGRMC1 (300435), and they share 68% identity in their C termini, including a highly conserved 58-amino acid sequence. Northern blot analysis revealed expression of 2.0-kb transcripts in all tissues examined, with highest expression in placenta. Transcripts of 3.0 and 5.0 kb were also detected.MAPPING
By genomic sequence analysis, Gerdes et al. (1998) mapped the PGRMC2 gene to chromosome 4q26. ... More on the omim web site
