title: Amino acid sequence of sialic acid binding lectin from frog (Rana catesbeiana) eggs.
abstract: The complete amino acid sequence of sialic acid binding lectin from frog (Rana catesbeiana) egg is presented. The 111-residue sequence was determined by the analysis of peptides generated by digestion of the S-carboxymethylated protein with Achromobacter protease I, chymotrypsin, or cyanogen bromide. The sequence is unique and not homologous to any known protein sequence. The protein may represent a new type of lectin.
