Proteolytic cleavages in alpha 1-antitrypsin and microheterogeneity.

Abstract:

:Antitrypsin was resolved into two pools by ion-exchange chromatography. Pool 2 contained three anodal isoinhibitors and an N-terminal sequence identical with the one found by others. Pool 1 contained, in addition to the anodal ones two cathodal isoinhibitors as well. The sequencing data of Pool 1 indicate that the cathodal proteins are formed from the anodals by a cleavage of the Gly5-Asp6 bond in the molecule.
