Prolactin-Releasing Hormone

A hypothalamic hormone that is synthesized as a precursor protein which is cleaved into two peptides. In addition to stimulating PROLACTIN release the peptides bind to specific G-PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTORS found at locations within the BRAIN.

Also Known As:

Prolactin Releasing Hormone; PrRP20; PrRP31; Prolactin-Releasing Peptide; Prolactin-Releasing Peptide PrRP20; Prolactin-Releasing Peptide PrRP31; Prolactin Releasing Peptide; Prolactin Releasing Peptide PrRP20; Prolactin Releasing Peptide PrRP31
