Cat. No.	Z102145
Name	Recombinant Human Prolactin (PRL) (E. coli)
Description	Synthesized primarily by the pituitary gland, prolactin is a neuroendocrine hormone that functions to promote and maintain lactation and has also been shown to play a role in breast cancer development, regulation of reproductive function and immune-regulation. While Human prolactin shares only 60% and 63% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat prolactin, respectively, the human prolactin receptor can be activated by Rat PRL. abm's Recombinant Human PRL is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain with a molecular mass of 23 kDa.
Organism	Human (H. sapiens)
Unit quantity	50 µg
Family	Somatotropin/Sclerostin/Serpin Families
Aliases	GHA1
Gene Symbol	PRL
Gene ID	5617
Accession Number	P01236
Source	E. coli
Species	Human (H. sapiens)
Appearance	Lyophilized Powder
Molecular Weight	23 kDa
Endotoxin Level	<1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Purity	>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Formulation	Lyophilized from a concentrated solution in PBS.
Function	Determined by its ability to induce the proliferation of rat Nb2-11 cells in the concentration range of 0.1-1.0 ng/ml.
Reconstitution	It is recommended to reconstitute lyophilized PRL in sterile distilled water to no less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Storage	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage	For research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Material Citation	If use of this material results in a scientific publication, please cite the material in the following manner: Applied Biological Materials Inc, Cat. No. Z102145

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.
