Abstract
The complete amino acid sequence of a β-galactoside-binding lectin from human placenta was determined at protein level. The lectin consists of 134 amino acids and its N-terminal alanine is blocked with acetate. The lectin shows about 50% similarity with chick 14K lectin, which was the first vertebrate β-galactoside-binding lectin completely sequenced. Only 14 residues proved to be different from those of rat lung lectin, the sole mammalian lectin of which the complete sequence has been reported.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
