- Abstract
The prolactin gene family represents species-specific expansions of hormones/cytokines contributing to the regulation of pregnancy-dependent adaptations. In this review, we discuss the prolactin family expansion in the mouse and rat, its linkage with viviparity and its potential role in regulating adaptations to physiological stressors.
