Compartmentation of albumin and ferritin synthesis in rat liver in vivo.
Infusion of rats with [U-14C]glycine resulted in labelling of glycine and serine in plasma albumin and liver ferritin. The patterms of labelling in these two proteins were not similar, suggesting that each is synthesized from a different pool of free amino acids.
