Full-length clones encoding a novel member of the metalloproteinase-like, disintegrin-like, cysteine-rich (MDC) family of proteins have been isolated from a monkey (Macaca fascicularis) testicular cDNA library. The encoded putative 82 kDa transmembrane protein (tMDC I) shows striking sequence similarity to other members of the MDC family including rat and monkey EAP I, guinea-pig PH-30 and human MDC protein, as well as a number of snake venom components.
