title: The amino-terminal sequence of lobster fibrinogen reveals common ancestry with vitellogenins.
abstract: The amino-terminal sequence of lobster "fibrinogen" was determined. A computer search of the sequence revealed that the lobster protein is homologous to vitellogenins (precursors of egg-yolk proteins).
