Introduction: Since progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) and PGRMC2 are highly expressed in the uterus, this study was designed to evaluate the impact of Pgrmc2 and Pgrmc1/2 deficiency on female fertility and uterine epithelial cell proliferation.Materials and methods: Uterine PGRMC2 and Ki67 expression were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Mutagenesis studies were completed in which Pgr-cre was used to conditio...
