Description
Prolactin (PRL) is a pituitary hormone involved in a variety of essential functions including reproduction, ion transport, growth, development and immunoregulation. It is also classified as a cytokine and influences different cell types through a signal transduction pathway upon ligand binding and dimerization of the Prolactin Receptor. The transmembrane PRL receptor, a member of the cytokine receptor superfamily, can be found in long and short forms depending on tissue source and species (ranging from ~40 kDa to 100 kDa). Signal transduction is mediated with the aid of members of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway
