Abstract
Bv8, a protein from skin secretions of Bombina variegata, reacts with receptors present in mammalian brain and intestine (Mollay et al, (1999) Eur, J, Pharmacol, 374, 189-196), As deduced from cloned cDNAs, the murine and human Bv8 homologues hare identical amino-terminal sequences and also contain 10 cysteines, From mouse testes, two forms of Bv8 mRNA have been characterized, of which one contains an additional exon which codes for 21 mostly basic amino acids. The mouse Bv8 gene is most active in mid-late pachytene spermatocytes. In mouse testes, Bv8 mRNA can first be detected at the end of the second week post partum, (C) 1999 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
