Size heterogeneity of immunoreactive prolactin in stored semen and seminal plasma. 1981

M L Smith, and W A Luqman, and B L Fariss

The difference between semen and seminal plasma immunoreactive human prolactin (iPRL) correlates with sperm count. Seminal plasma separated from sperm before freezing (SPB), after freezing (SPA), and serum were fractionated by G100 Sephadex chromatography. SPA contained four different molecular weight fractions of iPRL. Each fraction contained approximately 25% of the total iPRL measured. SPB and serum each had three molecular weight fractions and most of the iPRL coeluted with monomeric 125I-hPRL.

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.
