Abstract
The beta subunits of equine lutropin and equine chorionic gonadotropin were incubated in 0.013 N HCl for 30 min at 110 degrees C and separated into two fragments by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The amino acid and carbohydrate compositions of both fragments from each subunit were analyzed. The results demonstrated that equine lutropin-beta has a glycosylated COOH-terminal extension that differs only in carbohydrate composition from the COOH-terminal portion of equine chorionic gonadotropin-beta. This is the first demonstration of a glycosylated COOH-terminal extension in a pituitary glycoprotein hormone.Entities:
