title: Bovine histidine-rich glycoprotein is a substrate for bovine plasma factor XIIIa.
abstract: Histidine-rich glycoprotein was purified from bovine plasma and the identity of the protein confirmed through amino acid sequencing. Activated bovine factor XIIIa catalyzed the incorporation of 1 nmol of 1,4-[14C]putrescine into 1 nmol of bovine histidine-rich glycoprotein, showing that histidine-rich glycoprotein has the ability to participate in transglutaminase-catalyzed reactions in vivo.
