Abstract excerpt
From electrophoretic analysis, we identified in the saliva of an Ashkenazi Jew a disulfide-bonded major glycoprotein variant (Gl 8) that is a product of the proline-rich protein (PRP) locus PRB3. A previous study of this variant protein misidentified it as Pa 2 and as a product of a different PRP locus. The other PRB3 allele in this individual is an apparent null. To identify the mutations, we sequenced the...
