title: Genetic evidence for an additional member of the metalloproteinase-like, disintegrin-like, cysteine-rich (MDC) family of mammalian proteins and its abundant expression in the testis.
abstract: Full-length clones have been isolated from a Macaca fascicularis cDNA library corresponding to a 2.65 kb mRNA present at high steady state levels in the testis. Sequence analysis suggests that the predicted translation product, tMDC II protein, represents a novel member of the metalloproteinase-like, disintegrin-like, cysteine-rich (MDC) family of mammalian proteins.
