Abstract:
Calcium-binding proteins from the chick intestine and uterus of the laying hen (Gallus domesticus) were isolated and purified by identical methods. Proteins from each source were shown to exhibit identical electrophoretic mobility and were immunologically identical. Estimation of molecular size by gel filtration indicated a value of approximately 28,000 daltons for both the chick intestinal and hen uterine calcium-binding proteins. The amino acid compositions of chick intestinal and hen uterine calcium-binding proteins were essentially identical. This investigation was supported by USPHS Grant No. AM-04652 and USAEC Contract No. AT(11-1)-3167. C. S. Fullmer supported by USPHS Training Grant No. 1-T01-AM-05684.
