    Summary
    Predicted to enable hormone activity and prolactin receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including maternal behavior; positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; and positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Located in secretory granule. Is expressed in hippocampus; pituitary gland; placenta; and trophoblast giant cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carotid artery disease; impulse control disorder; and prolactinoma. Orthologous to human PRL (prolactin).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform 2), compared to isoform 1.
