UniProt functional annotation for P05710

UniProt code: P05710.

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
 
Function: This is a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin.
 
Subunit: Interacts with SMARCA1. Interacts with NEK3 and VAV2 and this interaction is prolactin-dependent. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Domain: The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding.
Domain: The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.
Similarity: Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
