Abstract
Comparing properties of electrophoretically‐separated proteins of the golden shiner with those of man permitted an evaluation of the suitability of traditional terminology for naming the proteins of fishes. Collectively, electrophoretic mobility, percentage composition, solubility properties, and distribution of lipoproteins of six golden shiner serum proteins differed sufficiently from the classical definitions of serum proteins to prevent homologizing the proteins of the golden shiner with those of man. Although certain properties of some proteins compare favorably between species, the particular combination of physiochemical properties of serum proteins are species‐specific. To have comparative value, a functional description of the serum proteins is recommended as well as physiochemical data for establishing homology of fish serum proteins.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
