title: Amino acid sequence of a calcium-binding protein (TCBP-10) from Tetrahymena.
abstract: The amino acid sequence of a calcium-binding protein obtained from the cilium and cell body of Tetrahymena, designated as TCBP-10 (Tetrahymena calcium-binding protein; molecular mass = 10 kDa [Ohnishi, K. and Watanabe, Y. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 13978-13985] was determined. It is composed of 102 amino acid residues. The exact molecular mass is calculated to be 11563 Da. From the amino acid sequence analysis, it has two EF-hand-type calcium-binding sites.
