Immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody against probasin (rat prostatic secretory protein) showed that a 40-kDa protein antigenically related to probasin was localized in rat liver and kidney. The contents of probasin in these organs were negligible. Immunostaining revealed that the 40-kDa protein (probasin-related antigen: PRB-RA) was expressed in the liver parenchymal cells and the kidney urinary tubular epithelial cells in outer stripe. The content of PRB-RA in the kidney was low during 0 to 2 weeks of age, then rapidly increased about 10-fold from 2 to 8 weeks of age. The content in the liver increased about 2-fold during the period, reaching a value of 10-12 ng/micrograms protein, which was ten times higher than that in the kidney. PRB-RA was purified from rat liver by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration and fast protein liquid chromatography on a hydroxyapatite column. The purified protein formed insoluble aggregates in the absence of a detergent, and it had a blocked amino terminal. The amino acid sequence of a peptide generated by tryptic digestion of alkylated PRB-RA was determined. Computer analysis showed that there was no protein having a significant homology with the peptide. These results indicate that a novel 40-kDa protein with a structural similarity to probasin is localized in rat liver and kidney, and might bear a function specific to these organs.
