A new member of the mouse prolactin (PRL)-like protein-C subfamily, PRL-like protein-C alpha: structure and expression.
In this study, we establish the presence of a unique member of the PRL-like protein-C (PLP-C) subfamily in the mouse, PLP-C alpha, characterize its complementary DNA and gene, and map its chromosomal location and pattern of expression during pregnancy. Mouse PLP-C alpha encodes for a 239 amino acid protein and possesses from 69-71% identity with rat PLP-C, PLP-Cv, PLP-D, and PLP-H. Another feat...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of a new member of the rat placental prolactin (PRL) family, PRL-like protein H.
The rat placental PRL family consists of molecules structurally similar to PRL and GH, and to date nine members have been identified. In the course of investigating late stage specific placental PRL family expression by differential display, we have isolated a complementary DNA encoding a new molecule that is highly homologous to PRL-like protein C (PLP-C) and PLP-D, and named this molecule PLP...
متن کاملProlactin (PRL)-Like Protein J, a Novel Member of the PRL/Growth Hormone Family, Is Exclusively Expressed in Maternal Decidua1.
A search of a nonmouse, nonhuman, expressed sequence tag database for messenger RNAs in the PRL/GH family has identified a novel rat complementary DNA clone. The encoded protein, designated PRL-like protein J (PLP-J), is predicted to be synthesized as a precursor of 211 amino acids, modified by N-linked glycosylation, and secreted as a mature glycoprotein of 182 residues. PLP-J messenger RNA sy...
متن کاملDopamine as a prolactin (PRL) inhibitor.
Dopamine is a small and relatively simple molecule that fulfills diverse functions. Within the brain, it acts as a classical neurotransmitter whose attenuation or overactivity can result in disorders such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Major advances in the cloning and characterization of biosynthetic enzymes, transporters, and receptors have increased our knowledge regarding the met...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the PRL receptor gene in human breast tumors with differential PRL receptor protein expression.
PRL is a major growth and differentiating hormone in the human breast, with activation of the PRL-PRL receptor complex increasingly recognized as an important mechanism in the induction and progression of mammary tumors. Although constitutive activation of various hormone and growth factor receptors is newly recognized as a common cause of tumor development, the PRL receptor gene has not been a...
