Cloning, expression, and regulation by androgens of a putative member of the oxytocinase family of proteins in the rat prostate

BACKGROUND Proteases are relevant in the physiology of the prostate, and its expression is regulated by androgens. METHODS Isolation of a novel cDNA from the rat prostate was done by reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. By Northern blot, we analyzed t...
