About PRL

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

PRL (prolactin) is a pituitary peptide hormone with central roles in mammary-gland development and milk production. It also has broader endocrine, reproductive and immune-associated biological effects mediated through the prolactin receptor.

Experimental context

Research context

PRL is widely studied in lactation, mammary biology, endocrine and reproductive signalling, pituitary physiology and hormone-responsive models. Reagent selection should consider species, physiological state, sample type, assay format, application and supporting validation.
