The complete cDNA nucleotide sequence of a novel cathepsin derived from mouse placenta, termed cathepsin P, was determined. mRNA for cathepsin P was expressed in placenta and at lower levels in visceral yolk sac, but could not be detected in a range of adult tissues. The expression pattern of this protease indicates that it probably plays an important role during implantation and fetal development.
确定了一种源自小鼠胎盘的新型组织蛋白酶(称为组织蛋白酶P)的完整cDNA核苷酸序列。组织蛋白酶P的mRNA在胎盘中表达,在内脏卵黄囊中表达水平较低,但在一系列成年组织中未检测到。这种蛋白酶的表达模式表明它可能在植入和胎儿发育过程中起重要作用。
