[Isolation and certain properties of human pituitary prolactin]. 1976

A A Bulatov, and N A Demina, and Iu A Pankov

A simple method of isolation of highly purified prolactin from acetonated preparations of anterior hypophysial lobes is described. The new method permits to obtain higher (about 10-fold) yields of the hormone, as compared to those obtained using previously described methods. Prolactin was extracted by acid aqueous acetone and was subsequently purified of extract by fractionation with acetone and NaCl and by isoelectric precipitation. The final stage of the hormone purification involved gel-filtration through Sephadex G-200; prolactin yield was 400 microgram per 1 hypophysis. The lactogenic activity of the hormone is 14 MU/mg; the sequence of N-terminal amino acid residues of prolactin is as follows: NH2-Leu-Pro-Ile-x-Pro-Leu(?)-Gly-Ala-.

D010903 Pituitary Gland, Anterior The anterior glandular lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis. It secretes the ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES that regulate vital functions such as GROWTH; METABOLISM; and REPRODUCTION.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
