Anti-PRLR Antibody
Background: PRLR (Prolactin Receptor) is a cytokine receptor. By somatic cell hybrid analysis and by in situ hybridization, Arden et al. (1989, 1990) demonstrated that the prolactin receptor gene resides in the same chromosomal region as the growth hormone receptor gene, which has been mapped to 5p13-p12. Cunningham et al. (1990) demonstrated that zinc greatly increases the affinity of GH for the extracellular binding domain of PRLR, although it is not required for binding of GH to the growth hormone receptor or for binding of prolactin to the prolactin receptor. By mutational analysis, they showed that a cluster of 3 residues (histidine-18, histidine-21, and glutamic acid-174) in GH and histidine-188 in PRLR (conserved in all PRL receptors but not GH receptors) are likely zinc-ion ligands.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone, prolactin, and belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Prolactin-dependent signaling occurs as the result of ligand-induced dimerization of the prolactin receptor. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different membrane-bound and soluble isoforms have been described for this gene, which may function to modulate the endocrine and autocrine effects of prolactin in normal tissue and cancer.

Uniprot Description
PRLR: receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin and placental lactogen I and II. Interacts with Cyclophilin A, differentially regulating various signaling pathways from the PrlR. Prolactin signaling is attenuated by threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation. Two alternative splice isoforms have been identified.

Product Notes
The PRLR prlr (Catalog #AAA177903) is an Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-PRLR Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's PRLR can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western Blot Concentration: 0.1-0.5ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PRLR prlr for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PRLR, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
