[HTML][HTML] Molecular Cloning, Tissue-specific Expression, and Cellular Localization of Human Prostasin mRNA∗

XY Jack, L Chao, J Chao - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 - ASBMB
We have purified a novel human serine proteinase, designated as prostasin, from seminal
fluid (Yu et al., 1994). In the present study, we have cloned and characterized the full-length
cDNA encoding prostasin and identified its tissue-specific expression and cellular
localization. A cDNA fragment was obtained by polymerase chain reaction using degenerate
oligonucleotide primers derived from the NH 2-terminal and internal amino acid sequences.
A full-length cDNA sequence encoding prostasin was obtained by amplification of the 5 …
