- Product Overview:
Prolactin is a polypeptide hormone synthesized and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, placenta, decidua, and by various immune system cells, such as T cells, B cells, and NK cells. It has many functions, including stimulating mammary glands to produce milk (lactation), stimulating surfactant in the fetal lungs at the end of pregnancy, inducing immune tolerance of the fetus during pregnancy, as well as other immuno-regulatory and reproductive functions, and may also have a role in breast cancer development. Cayman’s human Prolactin ELISA Kit is an immunometric (i.e., sandwich) ELISA that can be used to measure prolactin within the range of 0.12-100 ng/ml. This assay offers specific and sensitive analysis of prolactin in human serum and plasma, and has not been validated for other types of samples.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
