Description
Description: 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.

Function: Prolactin acts primarily on the mammary gland by promoting lactation.
Similarity: Belongs to the somatotropin/prolactin family
