Vomeroglandin has been identified as an isoform of mouse CRP-ductin by Matsushita et al (2000). The protein is thus identical with DMBT1 [deleted in malignant brain tumors 1] (which is the approved gene symbol).
Vomeroglandin is expressed strongly in the glands of the vomeronasal system in membrane-bound and secreted forms. The function of the protein at this location is unclear although the authors suggested a role in the pheromone perception. See: DMBT1 for an overview of other bioactivities.
