摘要
Progesterone-binding globulin (PEG) was purified from pooled pregnant Cape porcupine (Hystrix africaeaustvalis) plasma by SP-Sephadex chromatography, followed by Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, The final product was homogeneous according to high performance capillary electrophoresis, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation, A molecular mass of 65,300 Da was calculated from sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation data. Scatchard analysis indicated a dissociation constant of 0.82 x 10(-9) M, and PEG concentration of 18.4 nmole/mg protein.
