Prolactin (PRL or PRL1), chorionic somatomammotropin, and related pituitary gland hormones; Prolactin is primarily responsible for stimulating milk production and breast development in mammals. Aside from roles in reproduction, various functions have been attributed to prolactin, more than for other pituitary gland hormones combined. These are roles in growth and development, metamorphosis, metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and steroids, brain biochemistry and even immunoregulation, among others. Most of these roles are poorly understood, but it has become clear that many prolactin-like hormones are actually produced in the placenta and not the pituitary.

Somatotropin/prolactin hormone family; The somatotropin/prolactin hormone family includes growth hormones 1 and 2, prolactin, prolactin 2, and other members that play vital roles in a variety of processes, including growth control. They are long-chain class-I helical cytokines, most of which are secreted by the pituitary gland, and are active as monomers, binding to cellular receptors with EpoR-like ligand binding domains.

Somatolactin (SL) and somatolactin-like proteins; This family of hormones specific to Actinopterygii is expressed in the pars intermedia bordering the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary). Somatolactin appears to be involved in acid-base regulation, but much of its physiological role remains to be understood.

Vertebrate, non-mammalian prolactin 2 (PRL2); A functionally uncharacterized subfamily of the growth-hormone-like helical cytokines, which is found in vertebrata (except for mammals). The protein has been shown to be expressed in the zebrafish eye and brain, but not the pituitary gland, and might play a role in retina development.

Somatotropin or growth hormone (GH), placental lactogen, and related pituitary gland hormones; Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin is a peptide hormone synthesized by the pituitary gland, which mediates anabolic effects in development. GH is known to activate, via binding to specific cellular receptors, the MAPK/ERK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Via the latter, it triggers the secretion of insulin-like growth factor 1 (mostly in the liver). Besides increasing body height, GH has been shown to have a host of other effects.

of the residues that compose this conserved feature have been mapped to the query sequence.
Click on the triangle to view details about the feature, including a multiple sequence alignment
of your query sequence and the protein sequences used to curate the domain model,
where hash marks (#) above the aligned sequences show the location of the conserved feature residues.
The thumbnail image, if present, provides an approximate view of the feature's location in 3 dimensions.

This image shows a graphical summary of conserved domains identified on the query sequence.
The Show Concise/Full Display button at the top of the page can be used to select the desired level of detail: only top scoring hits
(labeled illustration) or all hits
(labeled illustration).
Domains are color coded according to superfamilies
to which they have been assigned. Hits with scores that pass a domain-specific threshold
(specific hits) are drawn in bright colors.
Others (non-specific hits) and
superfamily placeholders are drawn in pastel colors.
if a domain or superfamily has been annotated with functional sites (conserved features),
they are mapped to the query sequence and indicated through sets of triangles
with the same color and shade of the domain or superfamily that provides the annotation. Mouse over the colored bars or triangles to see descriptions of the domains and features.
click on the bars or triangles to view your query sequence embedded in a multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
The table lists conserved domains identified on the query sequence. Click on the plus sign (+) on the left to display full descriptions, alignments, and scores.
Click on the domain model's accession number to view the multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
To view your query sequence embedded in that multiple sequence alignment, click on the colored bars in the Graphical Summary portion of the search results page,
or click on the triangles, if present, that represent functional sites (conserved features)
mapped to the query sequence.
Concise Display shows only the best scoring domain model, in each hit category listed below except non-specific hits, for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Standard Display shows only the best scoring domain model from each source, in each hit category listed below for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Full Display shows all domain models, in each hit category below, that meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance.
(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
specific hits meet or exceed a domain-specific e-value threshold
(illustrated example)
and represent a very high confidence that the query sequence belongs to the same protein family as the sequences use to create the domain model
non-specific hits
meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance (default E-value cutoff of 0.01, or an E-value selected by user via the
advanced search options)
the domain superfamily to which the specific and non-specific hits belong
multi-domain models that were computationally detected and are likely to contain multiple single domains
