Anti-Prolactin/PRL (Capture), clone 2H11

Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone with multiple actions in the central nervous system (CNS) spanning from physiology to pathology. PRL exerts different actions through its receptors that can be found in both neurons and glial cells (astrocytes,microglia and oligodendrocytes) of the brain. It is generally believed that in vertebrates,prolactin (PRL) is predominantly synthesized and released by pituitary lactotrophs and plays important roles in many physiological processes via activation of PRL receptor (PRLR),including water and electrolyte balance,reproduction,growth and development,metabolism,immuno-modulation,and behavior. Protein function: Prolactin acts primarily on the mammary gland by promoting lactation. [The UniProt Consortium]
