prolactin-releasing hormone

prolactin-releasing hormone
any of various hormones elaborated by the hypothalamus that stimulate the release of prolactin by the adenohypophysis. Most such activity is exerted by vasoactive intestinal peptide, although in humans thyrotropin-releasing h. can also have this action. Called also prolactin-releasing factor and prolactoliberin.
