Guinea pig prostate contains one major soluble esteropeptidase activity. The protein has been purified and characterized and found to be a glycoprotein comprised of a single polypeptide chain. The molecular weight of the deglycosylated protein is approximately 26,000. The esteropeptidase has a simil

β¦ Synopsis
Prostate glands of adult guinea pigs were stained for nerve growth factor (NGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) by immunohistochemical methods. Both NGF and EGF were localized diffusely in the cytoplasm of the glandular epithelial cells, and also in their secretory products. These findings suggest that NGF and EGF are synthesized, stored, and secreted by the glandular epithelial cells of the prostate.
