Abstract
The primary structure of a murine senile amyloid protein (ASSAM) was determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 78 amino acid residues. The amino-terminus is blocked with pyrrolidone-carboxylic acid. The sequence diners from that of the known murine amyloid A protein and is highly homologous to human apolipoprotein (apo) A-II. The result indicates that the putative precursor of the senile amyloid protein is apo A-II in mice.Keywords
