Protein Function :

Human prolactin (lactogenic hormone) is a single chain polypeptide hormone with a molecular weight of approximately 23,000 daltons. Prolactin is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland in both men and woman. Women normally have slightly higher basal prolactin levels than men. During and following pregnancy, prolactin, in association with other hormones, stimulates breast development and milk production. Hypersecretion of prolactin can be caused by pituitary tumors, hypothalamic diseases, hypothyroidm, renal failure, acute exercise and several medications. Hyperprolactinemia inhibits hypogonadism in men and women with accompanying low FSH and LH levels.
