Free 125I-labeled ovine prolactin can be separated from detergent-solubilized prolactin-receptor complex by filtration on triacetate membrane filters pretreated with polyethyleneimine. Up to 98% of the total 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate solubilized prolactin-receptor complexes from rat liver bound to polyethyleneimine-treated membranes. This simple and rapid technique can be used to quantitate solubilized prolactin-receptor complexes.

D011981 Receptors, Prolactin Labile proteins on or in prolactin-sensitive cells that bind prolactin initiating the cells' physiological response to that hormone. Mammary casein synthesis is one of the responses. The receptors are also found in placenta, liver, testes, kidneys, ovaries, and other organs and bind and respond to certain other hormones and their analogs and antagonists. This receptor is related to the growth hormone receptor. Prolactin Receptors,PRL Receptors,Prolactin Receptor,Receptors, PRL,Receptor, Prolactin
