The PRL gene encodes the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin. This secreted hormone is a growth regulator for many tissues, including cells of the immune system. It may also play a role in cell survival by suppressing apoptosis, and it is essential for lactation. [RefSeq]

Optimal dilution of the PRL antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

A recombinant human partial protein corresponding to amino acids 63-201 was used as the immunogen for the PRL antibody.

Store the PRL antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
