Growth Hormone Signaling in Human T47D Breast Cancer Cells: Potential Role for a Growth Hormone Receptor-Prolactin Receptor Complex
11 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
GH receptor (GHR) and prolactin (PRL) receptor (PRLR) are structurally similar cytokine receptor superfamily members that are highly conserved among species. GH has growth-promoting and metabolic effects in various tissues in vertebrates, including humans. PRL is essential for regulation of lactation in mammals. Recent studies indicate that breast tissue bears GHR and PRLR and that both GH and PRL may impact...
