Abstract excerpt
During the search for the serine protease that cleaves pro-gamma-melatropin to stimulate adrenal growth, we identified another novel protease, which we called Adrenal mitochondrial protease (AmP). In situ hybridisation detected AmP transcripts in steroidogenic tissues such as the brain, testis, in ovarian follicles as well as in the adrenal cortex. Full length cloning identified two splice variants differing by a...
