Intended use

This device is intended to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of Prolactin in human whole blood, serum or plasma. And it is for professional use only, not for self-testing of untrained individuals, nor for near-patient testing.

Summary

Prolactin (PRL) is secreted by pituitary eosinophils and consists of 198 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 22,000. There are 3 disulfide bonds inside the PRL molecule, which is similar in structure to growth hormone (Somatropin, GH). The secretion of PRL fluctuated in a pulsatile manner with obvious circadian rhythm changes. The regulation of PRL secretion is mainly controlled by the prolactin release inhibitory hormone secreted by the hypothalamus, which is the only pituitary hormone that is suppressed under normal physiological conditions. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone, estrogen, stress, sleep and other factors can promote the secretion of PRL through different pathways. Its physiological and biochemical functions are mainly to promote the growth and development of mammary glands and lactation, and play a very important role in the development of gonads and the regulation of water and electrolyte metabolism. It is mainly used to evaluate the pituitary endocrine function clinically. Current clinical methods for detecting Prolactin include chemiluminescence method, immunochromatography method, and etc.
