Prolactin (PRL) is a polypeptide hormone synthesized by the lactotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Structurally, it is similar to two other polypeptide hormones namely, growth hormone and placental lactogen. PRL is a polypeptide containing 199 amino acids, while growth hormone and placental lactogen each have 191 amino acids. There is approximately 100 μg of prolactin in the human pituitary gland, which is a very small amount when compared to growth hormone, which is present at 8–10 mg.
