PRLR - prolactin receptor Gene
Also Known as HPRL; MFAB; hPRLrI; RI-PRLR
Species: Homo sapiens
About PRLR
This gene has 20 transcripts (splice variants), 269 orthologues, 23 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in placenta (RPKM 18.9), endometrium (RPKM 11.6) and 8 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone, Prolactin, and belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Prolactin-dependent signaling occurs as the result of ligand-induced dimerization of the Prolactin receptor. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different membrane-bound and soluble isoforms have been described for this gene, which may function to modulate the endocrine and autocrine effects of Prolactin in normal tissue and Cancer.
