Prolactin Receptor/PRL-R

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.

This is a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin.

Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily.
