Tomingal-like peptide is a newly discovered protein derivative.

Currently, this protein is linked to the following symptoms:

  • microcephaly
  • microgenitalia
  • gynecomastia
  • excessive prolactin release and
  • regression of the Müllerian duct during development.
  • Tomingal-like peptide has been confirmed to be found on chromosome 6, near the prolactin gene location, with a similar promoter. Excessive prolactin leads to gynecomastia, as well as microgenitalia. Tomingal-like peptide also leads to delayed or perturbed puberty and development (including microgenitalia, Müllerian duct regression, and Wolfian duct regression).
