Function
This is a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin (PRL). Isoform 4 is unable to transduce prolactin signaling. Isoform 6 is unable to transduce prolactin signaling. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed in breast, placenta, kidney, liver and pancreas. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily.
Contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains. -
Domain
The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding.
The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation. -
Cellular localization
Secreted and Membrane. - Information by UniProt
