The development and growth of the prostate gland is regulated, in part, by a variety of steroid and polypeptide growth-factor hormones. As a consequence of hormone action, the prostate gland will produce a number of tissue-restricted gene products. Characterization of the regulation, expression, and function of genes encoding prostate-specific proteins is critical to our understanding of prostate biology. Probasin is a prostate-specific gene originally isolated from the rat and has been exploited as a marker of prostate differentiation and to elucidate androgen action. Furthermore, a number of transgenic mouse models of prostate cancer have been established based on the regulatory elements derived from the rat probasin gene. In this report, we describe the isolation and characterization of the mouse probasin ortholog to further facilitate studies related to hormone action in the prostate and the generation and characterization of novel autochthonous models of prostate cancer.
