Recombinant Mouse Prolactin protein

Recombinant Mouse Prolactin protein

• Background: Prolactin is a neuroendocrine hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Its primary function is to promote and maintain lactation during pregnancy and suckling. In addition, Prolactin plays an immune-regulatory role by stimulating the activities of ornithine decarboxylase and protein kinase C, which are important for the proliferation, differentiation, and function of lymphocytes. The prolactin receptor is a transmembrane type I glycoprotein that belongs to the hematopoietic cytokine receptor family.
