Abstract
Prolactin is a protein-like substance which at pH 8.0 is almost completely destroyed by trypsin in 2 hours at 37°C. In confirmation of previous work though using the bird testis instead of the rodent ovary to test potency, it is found that the follicle-stimulating hormone obtained from the anterior pituitaries of cattle is very rapidly destroyed by trypsin under the above-named conditions. The methods used in the separation and purification of prolactin suggest that this hormone is a protein, but since it has not yet been obtained in a pure state the possibility of its adsorption on inert protein is not thus excluded. It is therefore desirable to learn whether prolactin is affected by tryptic digestion.
