Ovine oestrus-associated oviducal glycoprotein (oEGP) is synthesized and secreted specifically by the ampullary region of the ovine oviduct during the peri-ovulatory stages of the oestrous cycle. A cDNA that encodes oEGP was isolated and sequenced. Isolation of oEGP was achieved using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers based on a bovine oestrus-associated oviducal glycoprotein cDNA (bOGP) sequence. A 1599-bp cDNA encodes, in part, a deduced 519-amino acid sequence of mature protein which carries two potential N-linked glycosylation sites. The deduced amino acid sequence is more than 95% identical to that of bOGP and more than 74% identical to the first 491 amino acids of human oestrogen-dependent oviducal glycoprotein (hOGP). Northern blot hybridizations of RNA from several sheep tissues detected mRNA (2.4 kb) only in an ampulla oviduct sample. |
