Anti-Human Prolactin Antibody Pair

Product Description: Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. It is primarily known for its involvement in lactation and breast development during pregnancy, but it also has diverse effects on the immune system, metabolism, and the central nervous system. PRL exhibits immunomodulatory properties, influencing the function and proliferation of lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells. Elevated PRL levels have been associated with autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and peripartum cardiomyopathy. Additionally, PRL has been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia, as well as neurogenesis and blood-brain barrier regulation. Furthermore, hyperprolactinemia (high PRL levels) can lead to sexual dysfunction, infertility, and an increased risk of certain cancers. Protein Function: Prolactin acts primarily on the mammary gland by promoting lactation [The Uniprot Consortium]
