title: Primary structure of alpaca growth hormone.
abstract: Reduced and carbamidomethylated alpaca growth hormone was submitted to tryptic digestion. Peptides in the mixture were purified by reverse phase HPLC and N-terminal determination and an amino acid analysis of each was performed. Data obtained and the already known primary structure of the equine growth hormone allowed the assembly-by homology-of a definite sequence of amino acids for the polypeptide chain of the protein. Present data provide further information about the relationship between growth factors.
