Function
This is a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin (PRL). Acts as a prosurvival factor for spermatozoa by inhibiting sperm capacitation through suppression of SRC kinase activation and stimulation of AKT. Isoform 4 is unable to transduce prolactin signaling.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in breast, placenta, kidney, liver and pancreas
Disease Association: Multiple fibroadenomas of the breast (MFAB) : A benign breast disease marked by lobuloalveolar growth with abnormally high proliferation of the epithelium, and characterized by the presence of more than 3 fibroadenomas in one breast. Fibroadenomas are adenomas containing fibrous tissue. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) : A disorder characterized by increased levels of prolactin in the blood not associated with gestation or the puerperium. HPRL may result in infertility, hypogonadism, and galactorrhea. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
