Abstract excerpt
Fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) was purified from the liver of the Amphibia, Rana catesbeiana, by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The complete primary structure of the frog liver FABP was determined by protein analysis. Two isoforms, I and II, were separated by reversed phase HPLC, and found to differ by 10 atomic mass units as measured by ion-spray ionization mass spectrometry. A detailed...
