Abstract

Prolactin (PRL) is a neuroendocrine polypeptide hormone primarily produced by the lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary gland of all vertebrates. The physiological role of PRL in mammary glands is relatively certain while its role in breast tumor has been a topic of debate for over 20 years. In this review, the author attempts to briefly summarize the data coming from his laboratory in the past years, focusing on G129R, a PRL receptor (PRLR) antagonist developed by introducing a single amino acid substitution mutation into human PRL (hPRL) at position 129, and a variety of G129R derivatives. The author has proposed two novel ideas for potential use of PRL, not anti-PRL agents, as an adjuvant agent for breast cancer, making it a hormone of many faces.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 December 2014.
All research outputs
#20,245,139
of 22,772,779 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,958
of 4,930 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#295,638
of 352,917 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#189
of 272 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,772,779 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,930 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,917 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 272 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
