Sequence-Function Relationships Within the Expanding Family of Prolactin, Growth Hormone, Placental Lactogen, and Related Proteins in Mammals*

1 Aug 1996

Abstract excerpt

I. Introduction PRL PL, and GH are homologous proteins that are thought to have arisen from a common ancestral gene by two successive tandem duplications (Refs. 1–5; for review, see Ref. 6). PRL and GH are mainly secreted by the anterior pituitary of all vertebrates. The divergence of the PRL and GH lineage from the common ancestral gene has been located some 400 million years ago, which is in good agreement with...
