PRL Rapid Quantitative Test

Sales PRL Rapid Quantitative Test

Prolactin is the hormone that tells the body to make breast milk when a person is pregnant or breast-feeding. Production of prolactin takes place in the pituitary gland. For those who are not pregnant or breast-feeding, there are only low levels of prolactin in the body.

Product Detail  

Introduction
PRL is a single chain protein, secreted by antepituitary basophil, which consist of 199 amino acids with molecular weight of 23kDa. PRL has the function of promoting proliferation of mammary gland and lactation. The level of PRL rises up during pregnancy, reaches its peak when delivery, then declines after lactication. Lactication with newborn will bring about an increase of the concentration. The concentration of PRL in blood rises up when there is pituitary tumor occurring, such as prolactin-producing tumor, acromegalia, primary hypothyroidism, cancer, hypothalamus tumor[1-3].
