title: On the possible presence of a beta 2-microglobulin-like protein in extracts of livers from normal chickens and chickens with erythroblastosis-IV. Homology of small molecular weight (mol.wt 11,000) protein with serum albumin based on the content of amino acid residues.
abstract: A small molecular weight (mol.wt 11,000) protein (SMWP) was obtained from the livers of normal chickens and chickens infected with erythroblastosis virus. SMWP, which had been shown to have no biochemical homology with beta 2-microglobulin, is homologous with chicken serum albumin. SMWP shows a similar order of homology with another small molecular weight protein isolated by others from chicken plasma. Like chicken albumin, SMWP is more closely homologous with bovine albumin than with human albumin.
