Abstract | Prolactin (PRL) is a polypeptide hormone that is mainly synthesized and secreted by lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland. The actions of prolactin are mediated by its transmembrane receptor, PRLR. The principal role attributed to PRL is to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of the mammary cells required for lactation, but studies of animal models have assigned more than 300 separate actions to this hormone in various species. Hyperprolactinaemia is the prototypical pathological state associated with this hormone. Indeed, hyperprolactinaemia is the most common cause of amenorrhoea due to hypogonadotropic anovulation and is one of the most prevalent endocrine causes of infertility in women. In recent years, the study of conditional or complete Prlr |
