Isolation and partial characterization of bovine pancreatic colipase.
Three molecular forms of colipase (colipases A, B and C) with the same specific activity have been isolated from an acid extract of bovine pancreas. Purification includes ammonium sulfate precipitation, ethanol treatment, chromatography on SP-Sephadex, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and chromatography on QAE-Sephadex. The most basic form of bovine colipase (colipase A) has a molecular weight of 11,000-12,000 daltons and contains 104 residues. Its aminoacid composition is very similar to that of the intact form of porcine colipase isolated by Borgström et al. Colipases from both species have the same N-terminal residue (valine). It is likely that bovine colipases B and C represent partially degraded forms of colipase A. Their cofactor activity, however, is the same.
