Abstract excerpt
We have previously characterized an abundant male-specific mRNA from the submaxillary gland (SMG) of rats, encoding the SMR1 (androgen-regulated) protein, which has the structure of a prohormone and is processed by maturation enzymes to release a small peptide in the blood and saliva. We have now characterized three SMR1-related cDNAs in the SMG of Balb/c mice. These cDNAs encode three novel proteins, designated...
