The NGF and kallikrein genes of mouse, the African rat Mastomys natalensis and man: their distribution and mode of expression in the salivary gland

Abstract

The kallikrein genes and their expression in the salivary glands of mouse, the African rat Mastomys natalensis and human were compared. The Mastomys kallikrein genes comprise a family of genes similar to those of mouse. Androgen markedly enhances transcription of glandular nerve growth factor (NGF) and kallikrein in both male and female Mastomys suggesting the presence of testosterone regulated kallikrein genes for growth factor …
