Secretoglobins: Sexually Dimorphic Expression of Androgen-Binding Protein mRNA in Mouse Lacrimal Glands

Abstract

Sequence attributes predict that the ABP subunits expressed in lacrimal glands comprise proteins that are secreted in tears. These data imply compositional differences in ABPs secreted by mouse lacrimal and submandibular glands, and in ABPs secreted by male and female mouse lacrimal glands.
