title: A new protein of the brain myelin: isolation and chemical characterization.
abstract: An unknown protein has been isolated from bovine brain myelin. This protein, purified in the nonionic detergent n-octylpolydisperse oligooxyethylene, reveals on SDS gel electrophoresis a large number of bands in the higher MW region. However, chemical analysis and gel chromatography indicate the presence of a single, small protein containing large amounts of bound phosphatidylserine. N-terminal and C-terminal sequences, aminoacid composition, and the anomalous electrophoretic behaviour led us to exclude the protein as a fragment of other already known myelin proteins.
