Product Overview
GM203/Mouse/Monoclonal
GeneBio’s recombinant mouse antibody recognizes Prolactin (PRL), a single-chain polypeptide of 226 amino acids secreted by the anterior pituitary. Prolactin plays a role in multiple processes including cell growth, reproduction, and immune function. The Prolactin antibody reacts with prolactin-producing cells and is a useful marker in classification of pituitary tumors and the study of pituitary diseases. Prolactin plays a role in the development of mammary cancer, functioning dually as a mitogen and a differentiating agent.
Prolactin is a secreted hormone is a growth regulator for many tissues, including cells of the immune system. Prolactin may also play a role in cell survival by suppressing apoptosis, and it is essential for lactation. Prolactin undergoes alternative splicing that results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.
