Testatin is expressed specifically in the male gonad soon after Sry is expressed and later in adult testis. (A) Semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis of testatin mRNA expression in adult mouse organs. (B) Time-course analysis of testatin, cystatin C, CRES, and HPRT expression in developing gonads, from 11.5 to 17 dpc, using semiquantitative RT-PCR. (C) Time-course analysis of testatin, Sry, AMH, and HPRT expression during the initial phase of testis development, 11.5 to 12.5 dpc, using semiquantitative RT-PCR. (D) In situ analysis using a digoxigenin-labeled antisense testatin probe on sections from fetal testis (T)+mesonephros (M), 13.5 dpc. Testatin expression is located to the Sertoli cells in the testis cords (tc). (E) Immunostaining of testatin protein in fetal testis, 13.5 dpc, using a testatin-specific antibody.
