PRLR ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein prolactin receptor, which is encoded by the PRLR gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin (PRL). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 622 residues, a mass of 69.5 kDa, and is a member of the Type I cytokine receptor protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane and is secreted and is reported to be expressed in breast, placenta, kidney, liver and pancreas. As many as 9 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The PRLR gene has been associated with the disease, Multiple fibroadenomas of the breast. Other alias names for this target include MFAB, RI-PRLR, hPRLrI, hPRL receptor, secreted prolactin binding protein, and HPRL.
There are PRLR ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 5 ng/L and as high as 400 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
