Precautions | Prolactin Receptor (hPRL-Receptor) Antibody - With BSA and Azide is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PRLR |
---|---|
Function | This is a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin (PRL). Acts as a prosurvival factor for spermatozoa by inhibiting sperm capacitation through suppression of SRC kinase activation and stimulation of AKT. Isoform 4 is unable to transduce prolactin signaling. Isoform 6 is unable to transduce prolactin signaling. |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in breast, placenta, kidney, liver and pancreas. |

Background
It recognizes a protein of 70kDa, identified as prolactin receptor. Prolactin is a pituitary hormone involved in the stimulation of milk production, salt and water regulation, growth, development and reproduction. The initial step in its action is the binding to a specific membrane receptor (prolactin receptor), which belongs to the superfamily of class 1 cytokine receptors. The function of the prolactin receptor is mediated, at least in part, by two families of signaling molecules: Janus kinases and signal transducers and activators of transcription.
