Objective To identify genes involved in spermatogenesis and testicular development.Methods Hybridization of human adult and fetal testes cDNA samples was performed with a human cDNA microarray.Results and Conclusions By analysing the hybridization signals,a gene with a differential expression in adult and fetal testis was identified.The full length cDNA of 1?316?bp contained an open reading frame of 1?056?bp which encoded a putative protein of 351 amino acids.Further sequence analysis showed that it was a splicing variant of p44S10 gene family. The deduced protein encoding a regulatory particle of 26S proteasome has been highly conserved during evolution,suggesting the importance of this gene transcript in organism.
