Novel 28-kDa secretory protein from rat olfactory epithelium
We have isolated a novel secretory 28-kDa protein which is an abundant component of the rat olfactory mucosa. The partial sequence of the 28-kDa protein has been determined. The amino acid sequence of the 28-kDa protein is similar to that of non-selenium glutathione peroxidase from bovine ciliary bo...

Zusammenfassung: | We have isolated a novel secretory 28-kDa protein which is an abundant component of the rat olfactory mucosa. The partial sequence of the 28-kDa protein has been determined. The amino acid sequence of the 28-kDa protein is similar to that of non-selenium glutathione peroxidase from bovine ciliary body. The 28-kDa protein catalyzed decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide as well as organic hydroperoxides by reduced glutathion and seems to be a member of the glutathion peroxidases family. |
