About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for PRL:

This gene encodes the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin. This secreted hormone is a growth regulator for many

tissues, including cells of the immune system. It may also play a role in cell survival by suppressing apoptosis, and

it is essential for lactation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same

protein. (provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PRL_HUMAN, P01236

Function: Prolactin acts primarily on the mammary gland by promoting lactation
