Gene name Prolactin
Gene symbol PRL
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GHA1
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p22.3
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 lact
