Purification and characterization of a mouse serum glycoprotein increased in level by administration of an antitumor polysaccharide, lentinan.
One of the three kinds of mouse serum proteins increased in level by the administration of lentinan, designated LA, was found to be ceruloplasmin (p-diphenol:O2:oxidoreductase; EC 1.14.18.1) which contains copper atoms and has amine oxidase activity. This mouse ceruloplasmin is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 135,000, and its chemical composition is very similar to that of human ceruloplasmin.
