Prolactin plays an essential role in metabolism, regulation of the immune system and pancreatic development. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Discovered in non-human animals around 1930 by Oscar Riddle [ 8 ] and confirmed in humans in 1970 by Henry Friesen , [ 9 ] prolactin is a peptide hormone , encoded by the PRL gene .
Prolactin, a major hormone of the HPP axis.. The hypothalamic–pituitary–prolactin axis (HPP axis), also known as the hypothalamic–pituitary–mammary axis or hypothalamic–pituitary–breast axis, is a hypothalamic–pituitary axis which includes the secretion of prolactin (PRL; luteotropin) from the lactotrophs of the pituitary gland into the circulation and the subsequent action of ...
For example, high prolactin levels could result from diseases affecting the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. [2] Other organs, such as the liver and kidneys, could affect prolactin clearance and consequently, prolactin levels in the serum. [2] The disruption of prolactin regulation could also be attributed to external sources such as ...
A prolactin cell (also known as a lactotropic cell, epsilon acidophil, lactotrope, lactotroph, mammatroph, mammotroph) is a cell in the anterior pituitary which produces prolactin (a peptide hormone) in response to hormonal signals including dopamine (which is inhibitory), thyrotropin-releasing hormone and estrogen (especially during pregnancy), which are stimulatory.
The prolactin receptor (PRLR) is a type I cytokine receptor [1] encoded in humans by the PRLR gene on chromosome 5p13-14. It is the receptor for prolactin (PRL). The PRLR can also bind to and be activated by growth hormone (GH) and human placental lactogen (hPL).

The temperature control can be found in the hypothalamus. There is also regulation of water balance. And also hunger, and also something associated with water balance control (ADH). · Corticotropic releasing hormone CRH: stimulates ACTH secretion · Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): stimulates TSH and prolactin secretion
Prolactin regulatory element-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PREB gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] This gene encodes a protein that specifically binds to a Pit1-binding element of the prolactin (PRL) promoter.
