A human oncodevelopmental protein (ODP) with a molecular size of 28 kDa was isolated, employing malignant ascitic fluid of an advanced mixed mesodermal tumor of the uterus, by anti-ODP coupled Affi-Gel 10 column chromatography, followed by preparative PAGE. The final preparation obtained with this procedure gave a single band exhibiting reactivity with an anti-ODP antibody on analytical sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE. The sequence of the first 20 N-terminal amino acids of this protein is identical with those of both the cystic fibrosis protein and Ca-binding protein MRP8 except at position 17, for which no result was obtained. Sequence analysis suggested that the protein shows 90% sequence homology with both these proteins.

Proteins secreted by epidermal keratinocytes are known to engage in functions other than those directly associated with barrier formation. We have used a previously published culture model to collect proteins secreted by adult human epidermal keratinocytes. Electrophoresis and microsequencing allowed us to identify 20 proteins. The list of proteins includes those known to be produced by keratinocytes (beta-2 microglobulin, betaIG-H3, calgranulin A, cathepsin B and D, E-cadherin, gelatinase B, gelsolin, interstitial collagenase, laminin B2t, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, protein 14-3-3epsilon, SCC antigen, stratifin, and translationally controlled tumor protein) as well as those not previously known to be secreted by keratinocytes (epididymis secretory protein, maspin, and anti-neoplastic urinary protein). In addition, two proteins were identified that are not known to be secreted (glutathione-S-transferase and heat shock protein 27/28 kDa). The varied nature of the proteins identified suggests that epidermal keratinocytes have physiologic functions that have yet to be identified.
