      Receptors

      • Receptor: PRLR

        Induced phenotype:

        • polyhydramnios
          • An excessive volume of amniotic fluid, known as polyhydramnios, is associated with decreased levels of amniotic fluid PRL or PRLR levels in the chorion laeve. [1]
          • This effect may be related to the osmoregulatory role of PRL during fetal life and to the inhibitory effect on amniotic fluid volume observed in monkeys. [2]
