The recently discovered prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) binds to the PrRP receptor and is involved in endocrine regulation and energy metabolism. However, its main physiological role is currently unknown. Two biologically active isoforms of PrRP exist: the 31 (PrRP31) and the 20 (PrRP20) amino acid forms, which both contain a C-terminal Phe amide sequence. In the present study, the PrRP receptor was immunodetected in three rodent tumor pituitary cell lines: GH3, AtT20 and RC-4B/C cells. Food intake after intracerebroventricular administration of PrRP analogs in fasted mice was followed. Both PrRP31 and PrRP20 decreased food intake, but PrRP13 did not show significant effect.
