Differences in prolactin receptor (PRLR) in mouse and human fallopian tubes: Evidence for multiple regulatory mechanisms controlling PRLR isoform expression in mice
The anterior pituitary-derived hormone prolactin (PRL) signals through the PRL receptor (PRLR) and is important for female reproductive function in mammals. In contrast to the extensive studies of PRLR expression and regulation in human and mouse ovary and uterus, the mechanisms controlling the regulation of PRLR isoform expression in the fallopian tube are poorly understood. Because dynamic inter
