Proliferation marker Background Information Various hormones are secreted from the anterior pituitary during development and growth, including prolactin, lutropin (LH), proliferin (Mrp1 or Plf1), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Proliferin, also is designated mitogen-regulated protein 1, is an important secreted protein that plays a role in embryonic development. During fetal development at mid-gestation, proliferin provides a growth signal to target cells in fetal and maternal tissues. Proliferin belongs to the somatotropin/prolactin growth hormone family of proteins.
