The prolactin receptor gene (PRLR) is a member of which of the following protein family?

The prolactin receptor gene (PRLR) is a member of which of the following protein family? Correct Answer Cytokine super family

The gene for prolactin receptors (PRLR) is a member of the superfamily of cytokine receptors. This contains 10 exons and is confined to chromosome 5p13. Different body cells contain a broad family of cytokines, and the cytokine superfamily comprises families of interleukins, chemokines, colony-stimulating factors (CSF), interferons, and transforming growth factors (TNF) and tumor necrosis factor (TGF).

Phytase, an enzyme produced by Aspergillus niger can be adsorbed on microcrystalline cellulose powder (MCCP). The adsorption follows a Langmuir isotherm and the maximum concentration of the protein that can be obtained on the adsorbent is 70 mg cm-1. At a concentration of 50 mg L-1 of protein in the solution, the concentration of protein on the adsorbent reaches 35 mg cm-1. It is desired to recover 90% of the protein from 1.5 liter of the cell free culture filtrate containing 220 mg L-1 protein by addition of MCCP to the solution. The concentration of the protein adsorbed on the solid at equilibrium will be:
