Molecular Characterization: PRLR(Gln25-Asp234) hFc(Glu99-Ala330)Molecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 50.5 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of PRLR-hFc is approximately 55-70 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant human PRLR protein with C-terminal human Fc tagThis gene encodes a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone, prolactin, and belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Prolactin-dependent signaling occurs as the result of ligand-induced dimerization of the prolactin receptor. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different membrane-bound and soluble isoforms have been described for this gene, which may function to modulate the endocrine and autocrine effects of prolactin in normal tissue and cancer.
