Abstract
A fatty acid binding protein of low molecular weight (12 800) was detected in the white heart muscle of ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus) and the myoglobin-rich heart muscle of sea raven (Hemitripterus americanus), but not the glycolytic white skeletal muscle of ocean pout. The interaction of isolated ocean pout fatty acid binding protein with potassium [1-14C]palmitate was examined. Data indicate two binding sites for palmitate with an apparent dissociation constant, Kd, of 0.69 ± 0.03 × 10−6 M. The amount of bound palmitate was influenced by pH and by calcium ion concentration.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
