The isolation and amino acid sequences of echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) milk lysozyme I and II.

Biochemistry international - 1 May 1991

Teahan C G, McKenzie H A, Shaw D C, Griffiths M

Abstract excerpt

Comparative studies of monotreme proteins are of particular value in gaining an understanding of the origin of mammals and their interrelationships. The presence of two lysozyme variants, echidna lysozyme I and II, has been confirmed in mature milk samples of Tachyglossus aculeatus multiaculeatus and Tachyglossus aculeatus aculeatus respectively. A simplified procedure is described for their isolation. Their...
