Overview
-
The Recombinant Human Prolactin, Fc tag can be used for research in lactation, cultivated milk products, immune cells, mammary epithelial cells, and beyond.
Key features
Activity: Confirmed functionality using cell proliferation assays
Uniqueness: Confirmed to be N-glycosylated
Safety: Confirmed to be negative for mycoplasma and below threshold for endotoxin from Lot-to-Lot - suited for cell culture and preclinical applications
Price: Product price that is lowest on the market, without compromising quality
The Recombinant Human Prolactin product consists of Prolactin tagged with the Fc portion of human IgG at the C-terminal end. Fc-tagging is known to enhance stability, solubility and effector function while maintaining multiple ligands'activity on their cognate receptor.

Background
Human Prolactin, also known by its gene name PRL, is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It is primarily responsible for promoting lactation in the mammary glands, but it also has pleiotropic effects in both males and females. Prolactin typically exists in two forms: a glycosylated version and a non-glycosylated version with 23 kDa. Each prolactin molecule is believed to bind with two Prl-receptor molecules. In addition to its role in lactation, peripheral prolactin production is associated with breast and prostate cancer development, regulation of reproductive function, and immune system control. Recent research has suggested that PRL has cytoprotective effects on pancreatic islet cells and liver tissue, which could be crucial for the success of transplantation in clinical settings.
