Updates of the secreted human proteome
Posted on September 3rd, 2006 by Roland Krause in MiscelleanousShortly after the tear proteome, Genome Biology publishes the urine proteome. Neither study is the first of its kind but both show substantial increase in the number of proteins detected. The large number of proteins (~1500) stands out as the fluid is of an overall low content of protein, and about half of the annotated proteins are membrane associated. Many of these proteins might have been missed in analyses of more complex samples.

[...] biological observations and novelties is lower than expected for such a giant project (Roland once mentioned this discrepancy for metagenomic studies) but there is still much potential in the data for further [...]
