[edit] Subcellular Localization

Secreted protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

Stimulates prolactin (PRL) release and regulates the expression of prolactin through its receptor GPR10. May stimulate lactotrophs directly to secrete PRL
