BiomarkersQuest Diagnostics biomarkers
- Monomeric Prolactin The active, single-molecule form of prolactin, distinguished from macroprolactin (a larger, less active form) to clarify the true cause of an elevated prolactin result.
- Prolactin A pituitary hormone best known for stimulating milk production; also checked to evaluate menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, or pituitary conditions in men and women.

Description
For some patients the level of Prolactin measured by immunoassay may be inaccurate with respect to the level of monomeric, biologically active Prolactin. The Macroprolactin by PEG Precipitation test can help to identify if a patient sample has elevated Prolactin due to mostly inactive protein-bound Prolactin (Macroprolactin).
