title: The primary structure of artemin from Artemia cysts.
abstract: The primary structure of artemin, a major protein isolated from Artemia cysts, has been determined by direct Edman degradation of the purified protein. The amino-terminal acetylated protein has 229 amino acid residues and a high content of histidine and cysteine/cystine. A search in the GenBank Data Base at Los Alamos, using the FASTA program [Pearson, W. R. & Lipman, D. J. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 2444-2448] revealed a limited but unmistakable similarity to ferritin from vertebrates.
