Abstract
Evidence for three new isoforms of CTAP-III from human platelets is presented; two NH2-terminal cleavage products were identified, CTAP-III (des 1-13) and CTAP-III (des 1-15). CTAP-III (des 1-13) has a pI of 8.6 and is a relatively stable proteolytic cleavage product that retains the capacity to stimulate [14C]GAG synthesis in human synovial cell cultures. CTAP-III (des 1-15) appears to be an elastase or chymotrypsin cleavage product and identical to NAP-2, an entity thought to have neutrophil activating properties.Entities:
