Abstract:
The distribution of calcyclin in human tissues was studied using polyclonal antibodies against this protein. In all organs examined (breast, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, ovary, placenta, stomach, thymus, and uterus) only epithelial cells and fibroblasts were stained. This suggests that calcyclin expression is related either to proliferation rate or secretion activity. The data show that calcyclin might be considered as a marker of some human epithelial cells and fibroblasts.
