Abstract

A neutral and an acidic carbohydrate-protein polymer were isolated from leaves of Urtica dioica. The neutral fraction was a glycoprotein, containing the serine- O-galactoside glycopeptide bond. Methylation analysis revealed a highly branched structure, arabinose constituting the exterior and mainly galactose the interior part of the carbohydrate moiety. Galacturonic acid was the major component of the acidic fraction.
