Specific receptors for [125I]hPrl (human prolactin) are present in membrane preparations of rat testis. The receptors are specific for lactogenic hormones (prolactin and human growth hormone) but do not bind gonadotropins. The prolactin receptors are localized exclusively in the interstitial cell tissue, and are not present in membrane preparations from isolated seminiferous tubules. The localization of prolactin receptors interstitial tissue suggests that the effect of prolactin on LH/hCG-stimulated testosterone production is due to a direct effect of prolactin of Leydig cells.
