Why is it important?
This work helps us understand the evolution of the prolactin-growth hormone family, which regulates a vast number of functions in animals and humans, including growth, development, reproduction, immune function, and behavior. This work also helps us understand how animals on ancient earth were able to transition from the oceans into freshwater habitats.
