Abstract
Several ESTs deduced as a part of a cDNA encoding a protein that is homologous with a membrane-bound steroid binding protein PMBP were found. Based on the sequence data of these ESTs, a consensus sequence was extracted, and primers were designed based on this consensus sequence. Using the thus designed primers, a polymerase chain reaction of human genes was effected. As a result, a gene encoding a novel steroid hormone binding protein that is homologous with PMBP was successfully isolated from a human for the first time.
