With use of the signal sequence trap method, we isolated a cDNA encoding a novel
secretory protein, SDF-2, from the mouse stromal cell line, ST2. The human homologue of
SDF-2 was also isolated. The amino acid (aa) sequences deduced from both the clones
were conserved more than 92%. The chromosomal localization of the human SDF-2 gene
was mapped to 17q11. 2. The aa sequence of SDF-2 shows similarity to those of yeast
dolichyl phosphate-d-mannose: protein mannosyltransferases, Pmtlp [Strahl-Bolsinger et …
