Abstract
Parathymosin has been isolated from rat thymus and from rat liver. Its primary structure is reported as follows: .**GRAPHIC**. The blocking group at the NH2 terminus was identified by mass spectrometry as acetyl. Regions homologous to amino acid sequences in prothymosin .alpha. were found to be located between residues 14-20, 23-25, 33-39, 41-43, and 83-87 of parathymosin.Keywords
