Estrogen induces phosphorylation of prolactin through p21-activated kinase 2 activation in the mouse pituitary gland

A phosphorylated prolactin is a kind of modified prolactin, which is produced through phosphorylation of native prolactin (PRL) by p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) in secretory granules in lactotrophs. Phosphorylated prolactin is involved in the regulation of the estrous cycle and in apoptosis in cance...
