Related Product Information for PRL recombinant protein

Prolactin is a hormone synthesized and secreted by lactotrope cells in the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland). Prolactin has many effects, the most significant of which is to stimulate the mammary glands to produce milk (lactation).Increased serum prolactin during pregnancy causes enlargement of the mammary glands of the breasts and increases the production of milk. Recently, prolactin has demonstrated broader roles in breast cancer development, regulation of reproductive function, and immunoregulation. Prolactin was expressed in E. coli and purifed by conventional chromatography, after refolding of the isolated inclusion bodies in a renaturation buffer.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin. This secreted hormone is a growth regulator for many tissues, including cells of the immune system. It may also play a role in cell survival by suppressing apoptosis, and it is essential for lactation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.
