Popis: The induction by estradiol-17beta (E2) in DMBA-induced mammary tumors of a protein similar to that found in the uterus of estrogen-treated rats is reported. It is called an indirect protein (IP) and was demonstrated by an increased incorporation of labeled amino acids in a specific band of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. All the tumors contained the receptor for estrogen. A definite IP peak was shown by using a cytosol mixture that was enriched in the IP fraction by precipitation with 80% ammonium sulphate before electrophoresis. Data indicate that IP may represent a basic feature of target tissue response to estrogen stimulation. Measurement of IP synthesis might offer a method for investigating estradiol dependence.
