Abstract: Prolactin (PRL) is a protein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It can act as classic endocrine modulator via entry into the circulation or locally through juxtacrine, paracrine and autocrine modes of action. This paper introduced the structure, function and regulation of PRL, as well as the cloning and structure, developmental expression, mapping and polymorphism of PRL gene. It also expounded the relationship between the prolactin gene and production performance.

Key words: prolactin; prolactin gene; production performance
