  • Title: [Pancreatic stone protein, a new marker for chronic pancreatitis].
    Author: Montalto G, Carroccio A, Notarbartolo A.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1988 Feb; 79(2):91-4. PubMed ID: 3352949.
    Abstract:
    A CaCO3 precipitation and crystal growth inhibitor has recently been isolated from pancreatic calculi and from pancreatic juice. It is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 14,000, whose probable physiological role is the stabilization of exocrine pancreatic secretion which is normally supersaturated with CaCO3. It is hoped to determine a simple, but sensitive assay of this new protein on pancreatic juice and on serum, a decrease in which could be a marker for chronic pancreatitis.
