Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies in mice have established a critical role for prolactin receptors and transcription factor Stat5 in mammary gland differentiation. However, the enzymatic coupling between prolactin receptors and Stat5 in this process has not been established. In addition to Jak2, several other tyrosine kinases reportedly also are associated with prolactin receptors and may phosphorylate Stat5. Because Jak2 null...
