    Description: The human pS2 gene is specifically expressed under estrogen transcriptional control in a subclass of estrogen receptor-containing human breast cancer cells. The pS2 gene encodes an 84-amino acid protein that is secreted after signal peptide cleavage. The distribution of pS2 protein in normal human tissues was studied with antibodies to pS2; pS2 was specifically expressed and secreted by mucosa cells of the normal stomach antrum and body of both female and male individuals. Moreover, no estrogen receptor could be detected in these cells, indicating that pS2 gene expression is estrogen-independent in the stomach. The function of the pS2 protein in the gastrointestinal tract is unknown. However, the pS2 protein is similar in sequence to a porcine pancreatic protein that has been shown to inhibit gastrointestinal motility and gastric secretion.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rio, M C -- Bellocq, J P -- Daniel, J Y -- Tomasetto, C -- Lathe, R -- Chenard, M P -- Batzenschlager, A -- Chambon, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 5;241(4866):705-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉CNRS et U. 184 de l'INSERM, Institut de Chimie Biologique, Faculte de Medecine, Strasbourg, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3041593" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Abstract  A Crassostrea gigas digestive gland copy DNA (cDNA) library constructed in the λ phage ZapII (Stratagene, La Jola, USA) was screened with an amylase heterologous probe. To get access to the complete cDNA, a polymerase chain reaction extension was conducted using DNA extracted from the phages. The complete cDNA sequence is 1688 base pairs (EMBL = Y08370). The deduced protein sequence is 519 aminoacids long with a 19 aminoacid signal peptide. Similarity with Pectenmaximus amylase is 72%. A 3-day nutrition experiment with a cyclic algal food supply was carried out. Amylase enzyme activities and mRNAs were individually measured on five animals, nine times a day. Messenger RNAs were quantified by dot hybridization using the previously characterized cDNA as probe. Variation of amylase mRNA was observed, in relation with the level of activity of the enzyme. Coordinated changes in RNA and enzyme levels suggested a possible transcriptional regulation of amylase in C. gigas as in vertebrates.
