- Lareyre J, Thomas T, Zheng W, Kasper S, Ong D, Orgebin Crist M, et al. A 5-kilobase pair promoter fragment of the murine epididymal retinoic acid-binding protein gene drives the tissue-specific, cell-specific, and androgen-regulated expression of a foreign gene in the epididymis of transgenic mice. J Biol Chem. 1999;274:8282-90 pubmed..Altogether, our results demonstrate that the 5-kb promoter fragment of the mE-RABP gene contains all of the information required for the hormonal regulation and the spatial and temporal expression of the mE-RABP gene in the epididymis. ..

Characterization of an androgen-specific response region within the 5' flanking region of the murine epididymal retinoic acid binding protein gene. Biol Reprod. 2000;63:1881-92 pubmed..In conclusion, the mE-RABP ARR is a good model for the study of molecular mechanisms that lead to an androgen-specific responsiveness in vivo. ..
- Lareyre J, Winfrey V, Kasper S, Ong D, Matusik R, Olson G, et al. Gene duplication gives rise to a new 17-kilodalton lipocalin that shows epididymal region-specific expression and testicular factor(s) regulation. Endocrinology. 2001;142:1296-308 pubmed..Together our results suggest that mE-RABP and mEP17 genes were generated by duplication and that evolution led to a different region-specific gene expression and regulation in the epididymis. ..

Gene. 2004;339:49-59 pubmedWe previously identified two murine secretory proteins, mE-RABP(Lcn5) and mEP17(Lcn8), belonging to the lipocalin family and specifically expressed in the epididymis. The genes are contiguous and localized on mouse chromosome 2...
