✦ Synopsis
From a rat testis library three overlapping cDNA clones were isolated that represent a novel single-copy gene, designated Tegt. Two transcripts of 2.8 and 1.0 kb were found in each organ tested. The shorter transcript was highly abundant in adult testis. A similar expression pattern was found in the mouse. Analysis of rat RNA from different stages of spermatogenesis indicated that accumulation of the short transcript occurred mainly postmeiotically. The rat Tegt gene maps to Chromosome (Chr) 7, and its mouse homolog to Chr 15.

## Abstract The high‐temperature requirement factor A (HtrA) family of serine proteases is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to mammals. We have previously identified Htra3 in the mouse and human (HTRA3) and reported its expression in the ovary. In this study, we analyzed the rat __Htra3__ gen
