| Abstract | The cDNA sequence for aphrodisin, a lipocalin from hamster vaginal discharge which is involved in pheromonal activity, has been determined. Corresponding genomic clones were isolated and the promoter region was identified. Primer extension analysis revealed an adenosine residue as the main transcription initiation site, located 50 bp upstream of the translation start codon ATG, which is surrounded by a typical Kozak sequence. However, data from polymerase chain reaction analysis suggest the existence of at least one alternative transcription initiation site. The aphrodisin cDNA is 732 bp long and codes for the mature 151-aa aphrodisin and an additional N-terminal 16-aa secretory signal peptide. The 3' nontranslated region is 228 bp long. Among the known sequences, the aphrodisin cDNA shares the highest homology with the rat odorant-binding protein cDNA (45%), which verifies the protein data. Vaginal tissue and Bartholin's glands are the main aphrodisin gene-expressing tissues of the female hamster genital tract, as demonstrated by Northern blot analysis. Under less stringent hybridization conditions, RNA isolated from rat Bartholin's glands also showed a signal, indicating the occurrence of aphrodisin-related mRNA in this species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
