The gene of prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) was first cloned in 1998 and preproproteins
encoded by cDNAs produced at least two isoforms of PrRP with different lengths; PrRP31
and PrRP20. PrRP has been shown to release prolactin from the anterior pituitary at least in
vitro (Hinuma, YS, Habata, Y., Fuji, R., Hosoya, M., Fukusumi, S., Kitada, C., Masuo, Y.,
