Studies on Pituitary Lactogenic Hormone
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Tiselius technique of electrophoresis has been used to study the homogeneity and mobility of pituitary lactogenic hormone. The lactogenic preparation employed by us shows only one sharp band in schlieren photographs, indicating a high degree of homogeneity. From the determination of the mobility of the hormone at different hydrogen ion concentrations in acetate and phosphate buffer of ionic strength 0.055, the isoelectric point was found to be 5.70 and the See PDF for Equation value 4.5 x 10(-5). The difference in the mobility reported for White's crystalline preparation and that found with our high potency lactogenic preparation is discussed.

STUDIES ON PITUITARY LACTt)GEI’tIC HORMONE
In recent publications experiments were described demonstrating the homogeneity of our lactogenic hormone preparations by means of both electrophoretic (1, 2) and solubility (3) criteria. Of pituitary hormones the lactogenic seems to have been the first isolated in chemically pure form. Its molecular weight, however, has not yet been reported, although for many years it has been thought to be c...

Northrop and coworkers (1-3) believe that solubility studies constitute the most sensitive and reliable test for determining the homogeneity of proteins and have used them successfully as a test for purity of their crystalline enzyme preparations. Herriott, Desreux, and Northrop (4) were able to show that a number of pepsin solutions that appeared to be homogeneous in electrophoresis experiment...
متن کاملInduction of a lactogenic receptor in rat liver: influence of estrogen and the pituitary.
A receptor exists in female rat liver with high specificity for lactogenic hormones. Previous work showed the receptor level increased at the time of puberty in female but not male animals. Pregnancy caused a further substantial increase. Here we show that estrone (50 mug/day) administration to male rats induced a 10- to 30-fold increase in specific binding of ovine prolactin and human growth h...
متن کاملPreparation of Sheep Pituitary Gonadotropin and Recovery of the Lactogenic Hormone*
In various methods that have been reported for the preparation of pituitary gonadotropin, such as those of Jensen, Simpson, Folksdorf, and Evans (1) and Chow, van Dyke, and Greep (2), the active material is obtained either by precipitation with organic liquids or by salt precipitation, after which the gonadotropin or gonadotropins are separated from the precipitate. However, Fevold, Lee, Hisaw,...
متن کاملSequences of pituitary and placental lactogenic and growth hormones: evolution from a primordial peptide by gene reduplication.
Human placental lactogen has been found to resemble human pituitary growth hormone very closely in amino acid sequence, about 80% of the residues examined being identical in the two molecules when a revised sequence for growth hormone is used as the basis for comparison. The structural features responsible for the differing biological potency of the two hormones may therefore reside in rather l...
