PRLR

• Prolactin receptor (PRLR) numbers increase in luteal cells during pregnancy.

• PRL activates transcription of milk protein genes during lactation by binding to PRLR in mammary tissue.

• Different forms of PRLR have been identified in several species. These different receptors are due to alternative splicing and have been found in various tissues.
