Predicted protein structure

Clinical relevance (Genomics England PanelApp)

Moderate Evidence (Amber)

  • Bilateral congenital or childhood onset cataracts

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Primary ovarian insufficiency

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)
  • Intellectual disability

Protein function (UniProt)

Membrane-associated progesterone receptor component 1

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)
