Prolactin is a pituitary hormone involved in the stimulation of milk production, salt and water regulation, growth, development and reproduction. The initial step in its action is the binding to a specific membrane receptor, which belongs to the superfamily of class 1 cytokine receptors. The function of the prolactin receptor is mediated, at least in part, by two families of signaling molecules: Janus kinases and signal transducers and activators of transcription.

IF: 0,5 - 1 µg/ml IHC (FFPE): 0,5 - 1 µg/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1) Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2) The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Prolactin receptor antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. Staining of formalin/paraffin tissues requires digestion of tissue sections with pepsin at 1mg/ml Tris-HCl, pH 2.0 for 15 min at RT or 10 min at 37oC.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimised for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
