Purification and N-terminal amino acid sequence determination of anionic and cationic canine trypsinogens.

Abstract

Anionic and cationic canine trypsinogens were purified from pancreatic juice by affinity chromatography with Trasylol coupled to Sepharose 4B followed by ion exchange chromatography with SP-Sephadex C-50. Automatic N-terminal amino acid sequence determination showed the following structures for the activation peptides: Thr-Pro-Thr-Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys for anionic trypsinogen, and Phe-Pro-Ile-Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys for cationic trypsinogen.
