Function

Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone which has numerous effects. It enables females to produce milk. PRL provides the body with sexual gratification. PRL promotes neurogenesis in maternal and fetal brains. PRL stimulates cells which are responsible for the formation of myelin coating on axons[1].

See also Prolactin (Hebrew).

Disease

PRL has immunomodulatory effect and plays a role in lupus and rheumatoid arthritis[2]
