| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) 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). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null female mice have irregular oestrus cycles and are infertile. Defects of the pituitary gland include hyperplasia, which progresses to adenoma, and impaired secretion.
