The monkey ESP14.6 mRNA, a novel transcript expressed at high levels in the epididymis.
A screening strategy designed to identify cloned cDNAs encoding abundant Macaca fascicularis epididymal transcripts has yielded a clone corresponding to a 1.03-kb transcript present at high levels in the epididymis. Following library rescreening, DNA sequence analysis of several near full-length clones predicts a novel, 151-amino-acid protein, epididymal secretory protein 14.6 (ESP14.6), which contains a strong candidate signal peptide characteristic of secretory proteins.
