Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone involved in a variety of important functions including ion transport and osmoregulation, stimulation of milk, protein synthesis as well as the regulation of numerous reproductive functions. 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, 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. The PRL receptor 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.

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab2772 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Flow Cyt: Use 2µg for 106 cells.
WB: Use a concentration of 1 µg/ml(This antibody detects an ~40 kDa protein and an ~100 kDa protein representing both the short and long forms of the PRL receptor, respectively, in various tissues.ab2772, after biotinylation, has been used to detect human lymphocyte PRL receptor by FACS. ab2772 does not inhibit the interaction of prolactin with the receptor.)
IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
IF: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
ICC/IF: Use a concentration of 5 µg/ml
IHC-Fr: Use at an assay dependent concentration.
IHC-P: 1/100
This is a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin (PRL). Isoform 4 is unable to transduce prolactin signaling. Isoform 6 is unable to transduce prolactin signaling.
Expressed in breast, placenta, kidney, liver and pancreas.
Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily.
Contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains.
The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding.
The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.
Secreted and Membrane.

ab2772 staining the Prolactin receptor in Human salivary gland tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 hour at 20°C; antigen retrieval was not performed. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100) for 12 hours at 4°C. A Biotin-conjugated Rabbit anti-mouse polyclonal (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody.

Tissue was fixed with methanol, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton X and blocked with 15% serum and mouse IgG for 1 hour at 25°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/20) for 16 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated Goat anti-mouse polyclonal (1/250) was used as the secondary antibody.

Overlay histogram showing MCF-7 cells stained with ab2772 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab2772, 2µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
