The SLIT1 cDNA encodes a 1,534-amino acid polypeptide with 43.5% similarity to the Drosophila 'slit' protein. Northern blot analysis revealed that the human SLIT1 gene was expressed as a major 8.4- and a minor 5.9-kb transcript primarily in the brain. SLIT2 and SLIT3 mRNAs were primarily expressed in the spinal cord and thyroid, respectively. In situ hybridization studies indicated that the rat Slit1 mRNA was specifically expressed in the neurons of fetal and adult forebrains. These data suggested that the SLIT genes form an evolutionarily conserved group in vertebrates and invertebrates, and that the mammalian SLIT proteins may participate in the formation and maintenance of the nervous and endocrine systems by protein-protein interactions.

A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids (from tri- and glyceride). Triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other animals, as well as vegetable fat. They are also present in the blood to enable the bidirectional transference of adipose fat and blood glucose from the liver, and are a major component of human skin oils

Kallikrein-2 is a protein encoded by the KLK2 gene.The glandular kallikreins are a distinct group of serine proteases with molecular masses of 25,000 to 40,000 and an ability to release vasoactive peptides from kininogen in vitro, although the kininogenase activity of different kallikreins is highly variable. The true physiologic role of specific kallikreins is often unrelated to the kininogenase activity. In the mouse a major site of kallikrein synthesis is the male submaxillary gland. Glandular kallikreins are also synthesized in the pancreas and kidney. The several kallikreins found in this tissue include epidermal growth factor-binding protein (EGF-BP) and the gamma subunit of nerve growth factor (NGFG;), which are responsible for the processing of EGF and NGF , respectively.

MMP-1 is produced by fibroblasts, chondrocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, and osteoblasts. It is induced by the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and TNF-α, various growth factors such as EGF, PDGF, FGF basic, and Oncostatin M, chemical agents such as cAMP and phorbol esters and events occurring at the cell surface such as cell fusion and phagocytosis. MMP-1 plays a significant role in the degradation of different types of collagen in extracellular matrix remodeling. It is implicated in a variety of processes involving collagen degradation such as emphysema, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, periodontal and respiratory disease, angiogenesis and tumorigenesis, tissue remodeling and wound healing, and inflammatory bowel disease.

TIC1 encodes the protein core of a seminal plasma proteoglycan containing chondroitin- and heparan-sulfate chains. The protein's function is unknown, although similarity to thyropin-type cysteine protease-inhibitors suggests its function may be related to protease inhibition.The SPOCK cDNA encodes a deduced 439-amino acid protein with a predicted N-terminal signal sequence and 2 consensus glycosaminoglycan attachment sites. SPOCK, which contains osteonectin-like domains, a Kazal-like sequence, and a cys-trp-cys-val (CWCV) domain, is related to protein families that are involved in adhesion, migration, and cell proliferation.In situ hybridization showed that mouse Spock1 is located predominantly in a subpopulation of pyramidal neurons in the CA3 area of the hippocampus.

MUC7 encodes a small salivary mucin, which is thought to play a role in facilitating the clearance of bacteria in the oral cavity and to aid in mastication, speech, and swallowing. The central domain of this glycoprotein contains tandem repeats, each composed of 23 amino acids. This antimicrobial protein has antibacterial and antifungal activity. The most common allele contains 6 repeats, and some alleles may be associated with susceptibility to asthma. Alternatively spliced transcript variants with different 5' UTR, but encoding the same protein, have been found for MUC7.

Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that degrades (through its hydrolytic activity) the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, producing choline and an acetate group. It is mainly found at neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic synapses in the central nervous system, where its activity serves to terminate synaptic transmission. AChE has a very high catalytic activity mdash; each molecule of AChE degrades about 5000 molecules of acetylcholine per second. The choline produced by the action of AChE is recycled mdash; it is transported, through reuptake, back into nerve terminals where it is used to synthesize new acetylcholine molecules.Acetylcholinesterase is also found on the red blood cell membranes, where it constitutes the Yt blood group antigen.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a dimeric glycoprotein that inhibits the development of the Müllerian ducts in a male embryo. It is named after Johannes Peter Müller. AMH is a protein hormone structurally related to inhibin and activin, and a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family. It is present in fish, reptiles, birds, marsupials, and placental mammals.In mammals AMH is secreted by Sertoli cells of the testes during embryogenesis of the fetal male and prevents the development of the mullerian ducts into the uterus and other mullerian structures. The effect is ipsilateral, that is each testis suppresses Müllerian development only on its own side. In humans this action takes place by 8 weeks gestation. In female embryogenesis the absence of AMH allows for the development of upper vagina, uterus and cervix, and oviducts.

Peptide YY is a short (36 amino acid) protein released by cells in the ileum and colon in response to feeding. It is also known as PYY, Peptide Tyrosine Tyrosine, or Pancreatic Peptide YY3-36. Peptide YY is related to the pancreatic peptide family by having 18 of its 36 amino acids located in the same positions as pancreatic peptide. There are two major forms of Peptide YY: PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 which have PP fold structural motif. However, the most common form of circulating PYY immunoreactivity is PYY3-36 which binds to Y2 receptor (Y2R) of Y family receptors. Peptide YY3-36 (PYY) is a linear polypeptide consisting of 36 amino acids with structural homology to NPY and pancreatic polypeptide.
