Abstract
Lithostathine and the pancreatitis-associated protein (PAP) belong to the same family of proteins. Several research groups have contributed independently to the description of these proteins, starting from different tissues and different species including human, rat, mouse, dog and cow. Therefore, several names have appeared in the literature for each protein. Identities were discovered later, when cDNA sequences had been obtained and submitted to data banks for comparison. As a result, there is presently no consensus on the nomenclature of the family. Before entering into a description of structural and functional properties of the proteins, the duplications will be recapitulated through a brief historical perspective.
