title: Simple and high-yield purification of urine protein 1 using immunoaffinity chromatography: evidence for the identity of urine protein 1 and human Clara cell 10-kilodalton protein.
abstract: A simple and high-yield purification procedure for urine protein 1 (UP1) using anti-UP1 immunoaffinity chromatography is described. Pure UP1 was obtained in a final yield of 60.2%, and observed as a single electrophoretic band and as a single peak on reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The N-terminal amino acid residue of UP1 was found to be glutamic acid, contrary to what was reported previously. Furthermore, the N-terminal sequence of UP1 up to 53 amino acids was confirmed to be identical with that of mature human Clara cell 10-kilodalton protein, which inhibits phospholipase A2 activity.
