Abstract
A full length cDNA named HongrES1 was isolated and cloned by screening rat epididymis cDNA library using a mouse EST as a probe and 5'RACE followed. It contained 1590bp nucleotides and its predicted protein had 415 amino acid residues including a serpin (serine protease inhibitor) conserved domain. Tissue distribution pattern showed it was specifically expressed in adult rat epididymis; moreover, in situ hybridyzation indicated this gene was expressed in a limited region of the cauda epididymis near vas deference. Such kind of expression pattern sugested that HongrES1 had potential function in male reproduction.Entities:
