Prolactin

Prolactin

Prolactin hormone (PRL), secreted from the lactotrophs of the anterior pituitary, is a protein consisting of a single polypeptide chain containing approximately 200 amino acids. The primary biological action of the hormone is on the mammary gland where it is involved in the growth of the gland and in the induction and maintenance of milk production.

The Fortress Diagnostics Prolactin assay is intended for the quantitative determination of prolactin hormone concentration in Human Serum by a Microplate Immunoenzymometric assay.
