Abstract excerpt
Mannan-binding proteins (MBPs) occur in two forms, both of which are synthesized in the liver. Although two different MBP cDNAs have been cloned and characterized for rat and mouse, only one form of human MBP cDNA has been isolated. In this study, two forms of human MBP, liver MBP (L-MBP) and serum MBP (S-MBP), were purified from liver and serum and characterized, respectively. The amino acid sequences of these...
