Abstract
We have isolated and characterized an atrial gland cDNA that corrects the previously reported sequence for Aplysia atrial gland granule-specific antigen (AGSA), a glycoprotein of unknown function. We designated the protein mollusk-derived growth factor (MDGF) to distinguish the revised sequence from AGSA and to emphasize its similarity to an insect-derived growth factor (IDGF). We describe MDGF mRNA expression that suggests a possible role during embryonic development and CNS injury repair.
