Secreted hormones

  • Hormone: CST6

  • Hormone: ectodysplasin-A

Receptors

  • Receptor: PRLR

    Induced phenotype:

    • reduction of electrolyte excretion
      • Reduced Na+ and Cl- in sweat [1]
    • cystic fibrosis
      • Cystic fibrosis may involve defective PRL production leading to failure of regulation of Cl channels in affected epithelia. [2]
