Abstract:
A high molecular weight glycoprotein (450,000) was obtained from thrombin-treated duck thrombocytes by barium citrate adsorption technique followed by heparin-agarose affinity chromatography. Amino acid composition (high number of acidic amino acids and cystine) as well as carbohydrate contents (1.3 per cent hexosamine, 0.9 per cent sialic acid and 1.5 per cent hexose) showed similarity to mammalian platelet thrombospondin.
