Lipophilin, a novel heterodimeric protein of human tears.

We identified a novel heterodimeric protein, lipophilin AC, in human tears. One of its components, lipophilin A (69 residues; mass, 7575.1; pI, 9.47) was homologous to the C1 and C2 components of prostatein ('estramustine-binding protein'), the major secreted protein of rat prostate. Human lipophilin C (77 residues; mass, 8854.1; pI, 4.94) was homologous to the rat prostatein C3 component and to human mammaglobin, a protein overexpressed in some mammary carcinomas. Tear lipophilins A and C expand the roster of human uteroglobin superfamily members and provide models for exploring these typically steroid-regulated and steroid-binding molecules.[1]
