MA1-611 detects prolactin (PRL) receptor in rat and human tissues. This antibody does not cross-react with PRL receptors from other species nor with growth hormone (GH) receptor.
MA1-611 has been successfully used in Western blot, IF, immunohistochemistry (4% PFA fixed tissue), and immunocytochemistry procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~42 kDa protein representing PRL receptor in NB2 cell lysate. Immunohistochemical staining of PRL receptor in NB2 cells with MA1-611 yields a staining pattern consistent with cytoplasmic vesicular staining. MA1-611 has also been used to inhibit the binding of prolactin to prolactin receptor in vitro.
The MA1-611 immunogen is purified rat liver PRL receptor.

Prolactin (PRL) is a pituitary hormone involved in the stimulation of milk production, salt and water regulation, growth, development and reproduction. PRL exerts its influence on different cell types through a signal transduction pathway which begins with the binding of the hormone to a transmembrane PRL receptor. Immunoreactive PRL receptor (PRLR), a member of the cytokine receptor family, varies in size (short and long forms) with tissue source and species, from ~40 kDa to 100 kDa. PRLR consists of at least three separate domains: an extracellular region with 5 cysteines which contains the prolactin binding site, a single transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic region, the length of which appears to influence ligand binding and regulate cellular function.
