Abstract excerpt
Comparison of the protein coding region of mRNA for the prostatic secretory protein PSP94 in human (hPSP94) with that in rhesus monkey (rmPSP94) indicates that, for the most part, its sequence has evolved with few constraints and at a relatively fast rate. Interestingly, half of the 22 residue differences between the two species involve charge changes, reflected by the acidic pI (5.4) of hPSP94 and the basic pI...
