title: The structure of the rat liver glycogen backbone protein.
abstract: Rat liver glycogen was freed of non-covalently bound protein. The backbone protein was purified from the pure glycogen. This protein had a molecular weight of 60,000 daltons and amino acid analysis showed it to be rich in glutamate, serine and the hydrophobic amino acids. In both size and amino acid content it differed from the corresponding rabbit muscle protein. An O-type glycoprotein linkage is suggested.
