Prostatic secreted proteins in mice and rats: Identification using mass spectrometric analysis and the hormone dependent expression

Fujimoto Nariaki , Suzuki Tomoharu , Ohta Shigeru

It is not surprising that mouse prostate gland is anatomically very similar to that in the rat, which consists of the ventral prostate (VP), dorsolateral prostate (DLP) and anterior prostate (AP). However, the basic biological function of the prostate, prostatic secretion, has been suggested to be diverse between the two species and yet poorly understood. We have identified major secreted proteins from separate prostate lobes of the mouse as well as the rat by mass spectrometr...
