Background Information
Prolactin is also named as PRL and belongs to the somatotropin/prolactin family. The proteins encoded by PRL are secreted into the cell surroundings. And they are abundantly expressed in pituitary gland, adenohypophysis, decidua and testis. Indeed, chemically, prolactin appears in a multiplicity of posttranslational forms ranging from size variants to chemical modifications such as phosphorylation or glycosylation. It is not only synthesized in the pituitary gland, as originally described, but also within the central nervous system, the immune system, the uterus and its associated tissues of conception, and even the mammary gland itself (PMID: 11015620). Prolactin acts primarily on the mammary gland by promoting lactation (PMID: 30546056).
