Receptor-like binding proteins for testosterone and progesterone in the human ovary.
The presence of two receptor-like proteins in human ovarian cytosol is described, one for testosterone and the other for progesterone. They have high affinity and are saturable, thermolabile, and highly specific. The properties of these proteins are discussed, and their possible role in the regulation of ovarian function is discussed.
