Primary antibody notes
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. -

Target
-
Function
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. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed in breast, placenta, kidney, liver and pancreas. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily.
Contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains. -
Domain
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. -
Cellular localization
Secreted and Membrane. - Information by UniProt

Mammary gland tissue from lactating light horse mare was incubated with ab2772 at 1:100 for 1 hour at 23°C and for 24 hours at 4°C. A biotin-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG was used as the secondary antibody (23°C for 1 hour) .Development using avidin-biotin complex 23°C for 1 hour plus 3,3-diaminobenzadine for 15 min and counterstained with haematoxylin. Antigen retrieval was facilitated using steaming at 95°C for 20 min in Trizma® buffer (pH 10.0) . Blocking endogenous peroxidase performed with 0.3% H2O2 and MeOH (20 min at 23°C). To decrease non-specific staining, tissue was pre-incubated in normal goat serum for 30 min at 23°C.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of Prolactin Receptor/PRL-R shows staining in A2058 cells. Prolactin Receptor/PRL-R (green), F-Actin staining with Phalloidin (red) and nuclei with DAPI (blue) is shown. Cells were grown on chamber slides and fixed with formaldehyde prior to staining. Cells were probed without (control) or with ab2772 (1:20) over night at 4°C, washed with PBS and incubated with a DyLight-488 conjugated secondary antibody. Images were taken at 60X magnification.

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.
Please note that Abcam do not have any data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells. We welcome any customer feedback. -
