Abstract
A third member of the rat pancreatitis associated protein (PAP) gene f amily is described here. Its messenger RNA was cloned from an intestin al cDNA library and sequenced. The encoded protein, designated PAP III , shows 66% and 63% identity with the rat PAP I and II, respectively. The PAP III gene is constitutively expressed in the small intestine an d in the pancreas with acute pancreatitis, but not in the healthy panc reas.
