Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of the cDNA encoding the human acrosin-trypsin inhibitor (HUSI-II)

A complete cDNA clone encoding the human acrosin-trypsin inhibitor
HUSI-II has been isolated from a cDNA library of human testis and
completely sequenced. The cDNA of 594 bp contained an open reading
frame of 252 base pairs, The deduced amino acid sequence comprised
the complete amino acid sequence of HUSI-II[1] and a putative
signal peptide. Northern blotting analysis revealed that HUSI-II is
synthesized in testis, epididymis and seminal vesicle, but not in
the prostate gland.
