title: Amino acid sequence, location and phylogenetic aspects of the glycopeptides of human lactotransferrin.
abstract: Human lactotransferrin contains two prosthetic sugar groups situated in two different cyanogen bromide fragments: the amino acid sequences around the two polysaccharide attachment sites were established. The location of the prosthetic groups was quite different in serum and lactotransferrins and no sequence homology could so far be characterized between the glycopeptides of these two transferrins, whereas a close relationship between a glycopeptide of human lactotransferrin and a glycopeptide of hen ovotransferrin was noted.
