It stimulates lactation in the mammary glands, and is produced by pituitary gland
The pituitary gland produces both prolactin and growth hormone in the human body.
The pituitary gland produces prolactin which acts on the breasts to induce milk production.

Thickness in the pituitary gland could be caused by a prolactinoma. It is a benign tumour of the pituitary gland that produces a hormone called prolactin.
The hypothalamus produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) to stimulate the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) to stimulate the production of hormones. On the other hand, somatostatin inhibits the release of growth hormone and dopamine inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland.
prolactin - anterior pituitary gland oxytocin - posterior pituitary gland
Anterior pituitary hormones include prolactin, which controls milk production.
The hormone that stimulates milk production in the breasts is called prolactin. It is produced by the pituitary gland and its primary function is to promote lactation in response to childbirth or nursing.

That would be the hormone Prolactin (PRL) produced by the anterior pituitary gland. AP Biology Exam for me is only 2 weeks away.
Prolactin is not considered a tropic hormone because it does not act on another endocrine gland to regulate the secretion of another hormone. Instead, prolactin primarily functions to stimulate milk production in mammary glands after childbirth.
