The Amino Acid Sequence of Human Plasma Prealbumin
Open accessAbstract
The complete amino acid sequence of plasma prealbumin has been determined. Prealbumin forms a stable complex with plasma retinol-binding protein and plays an important role in vitamin A transport. Prealbumin also binds thyroxine, and is involved in transport of thyroid hormone. The prealbumin molecule is a stable tetramer, composed of 4 identical subunits, with over-all molecular weight of 54,980. Each prealbumin subunit contains 127 amino acids, including 1 cysteine (position 10), 1 methionine (position 13), 4 arginine, and 8 lysine residues. Thirteen tryptic peptides were aligned after studies which included the tryptic digestion of maleylated, reduced, and carboxymethylated prealbumin (to yield 5 peptides), and subsequent tryptic digestion of these peptides after removal of the maleyl groups. The sequence of each subunit is: NH2-Gly-Pro-Thr-Gly-Thr-Gly-Glu-Ser-Lys-Cys-Pro-Leu-Met-Val-Lys-Val-Leu-Asp-Ala-Val-Arg-Gly-Ser-Pro-Ala-Ile-Asn-Val-Ala-Val-His-Val-Phe-Arg-Lys-Ala-Ala-Asp-Asp-Thr-Trp-Glu-Pro-Phe-Ala-Ser-Gly-Lys-Thr-Ser-Glu-Ser-Gly-Glu-Leu-His-Gly-Leu-Thr-Thr-Glx-Glx-Gln-Phe-Val-Glu-Gly-Ile-Tyr-Lys-Val-Glu-Ile-Asp-Thr-Lys-Ser-Tyr-Trp-Lys-Ala-Leu-Gly-Ile-Ser-Pro-Phe-His-Glu-His-Ala-Glu-Val-Val-Phe-Thr-Ala-Asn-Asp-Ser-Gly-Pro-Arg-Arg-Tyr-Thr-Ile-Ala-Ala-Leu-Leu-Ser-Pro-Tyr-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Thr-Thr-Ala-Val-Val-Thr-Asn-Pro-Lys-Glu-COOH.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
