Abstract
The complete primary structure of the late lactation protein from the milk of quokka (Setonix brachyurus) is presented. The amino acid sequence was established by N-terminal sequence analysis of high-performance liquid chromatography purified intact protein and peptides isolated from chemical and enzymatic digests of the protein. The protein contains 158 residues including four cysteines. The sequence comparison with the tamar wallaby (Macropus eugenii) late lactation protein shows only five differences. The protein is identified as a new member of a novel late lactation protein family present in the milk of marsupials.
