Organization of the human gene encoding the epididymis-specific EP2 protein variants and its relationship to defensin genes.

Biology of reproduction - 1 Apr 2001

Fröhlich O, Po C, Young L G

Abstract excerpt

The EP2 gene codes for at least nine message variants that are all specifically expressed in the epididymis. These variants putatively encode small secretory proteins that differ in their N- and C-termini, resulting in proteins that can have little or no sequence similarity to each other. We have isolated and sequenced the human EP2 gene to determine the molecular origin of these variants. The EP2 gene has two...
