| Abstract |
An abundant 1.05 kb human lacrimal gland mRNA has been characterized by cDNA cloning. It encodes a predicted 180 residue, 20546 Da secreted protein, with a charge of +11 at ph 7 and 24.5% proline, designated as Basic Proline-rich Lacrimal Protein (BPLP), Southern blot analysis is consistent with a single BPLP gene. BPLP lacks any distinct repetitive structure, and is unrelated to the salivary proline-rich protein super-family. The pre-proprotein shows modest overall similarity to a superfamily comprising human PRPb, the mouse MSG proteins, and rat VCS-alpha 1, VCS-beta 1 and submandibular apomucin. BPLP also contains a domain with similarity to the Zp2 protein domain found in several otherwise unrelated proteins. Northern blot analysis indicated that the BPLP gene is also expressed at modest levels in the human submandibular gland, and in situ hybridization demonstrated expression of BPLP in the secretory endpieces of the human lacrimal gland. The BPLP cDNA clone defines a new human tear protein, and should provide a useful phenotypic marker of differentiation in in vitro studies of lacrimal gland function. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 July 2022.
All research outputs
#3,309,965
of 23,001,641 outputs
Outputs from Current Eye Research
#40
of 1,425 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,699
of 110,665 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Eye Research
#14
of 579 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,001,641 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 84th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,425 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 110,665 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 579 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
