Abstract

A microelectrophoretic polyacrylamide slab gel system has been adapted to analyze prolactin levels in individual goldfish pituitaries. The putative prolactin (Rf = 0.40) was identified within the gels by use of what is known about hypothalamic, dopaminergic control of secretion of this hormone, the effect of osmotic pressure on prolactin secretion, and the effect of administration of ergot drugs in fish. The putative goldfish prolactin was also shown to cross-react with anti-ovine and anti-pollack prolactin in two systems.
