GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	PRL
Synonyms
Description	Prolactin (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	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.
