guys, thanks for the answers, but my PCT might be amolecule in the cell, in some hormone signalling pathway

You should give us the context since PCR is usually the polymerase chain reaction
In cancer studies: pathological complete Remission (pCR):
http://professional.cancerconsultants.com/oncology_breast_cancer_news.aspx?id=33984
There are also the proteins PcrA and PcrB, with PcrA being a helicase:

and pcrB proposed for some functions:"We propose functions for the homologous PcrB proteins, which are conserved in a subset of pathogenic bacteria, as either prenyltransferases or being involved in lipoteichoic acid biosynthesis"

In Biology, PCR is a way to make many copies of a piece of DNA so that it can be identified. PCR is what you would use to identify a species of bacteria for example by looking at its genetic code.

There is a PCR valve in your car engine, is that what you mean?
