Anti-Prolactin/PRL Antibody Picoband® (Cy3 Conjugate)

Prolactin  (PRL), also known as luteotropic hormone or luteotropin, is a protein that in humans is best known for its role in enabling female mammals to produce milk. 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.

E.coli-derived human Prolactin recombinant protein (Position: L29-227C). Human Prolactin?shares?60%?and 63% amino?acid?(aa)?sequence?identity?with mouse?and?rat Prolactin, respectively.

Highly expressed in fibroblasts, some expression in T- and B-lymphocytes, and little or no expression in Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines. Expressed in many hormone- independent mammary carcinoma cell lines. .
